[vtk-developers] The cost of output in tests

[David Cole]

Test results are intended to be stored exactly once in the CDash database. Multiple tests all having identical results point to a single copy of the output. Anything else should be considered a bug in CDash.

And most of our projects on cdash.org only store 4 months worth of data.
