I plan to add this feature some day, but for the moment I do just as
you do.  As it stands I have 10 years of history for my class, and
moss seems to have no problem with it---so just go ahead and submit
the whole lot.

Regards,
Alex

At UCR we intend to start reusing home programming assignments to a
greater extent, and to deal with cross-quarter cheating by archiving
old student submissions.  Since I presume MOSS requires super-linear
comparisons for submissions, I was hoping you could add a flag for
archival submission.  Archival submissions would only need to be
checked against new work, not other archival submissions.  If this
isn't possible, I understand, but I was hoping to be as gentle to your
compute cycles as possible.

Thanks
Titus Winters
