Description

Perhaps I don't know all the tradeoffs, but I think not storing attachments directly in the database is a mistake. Keeping attachments locally in the redmine project directory can be a gotcha for people, especially in regards to backups. Having to backup the redmine project directory in addition to the database is not obvious.

Adding the attachments to the database means one entity to backup, one entity to restore (or migrate). Also allows redmine to be proxied across machines in a cluster for load balancing without doing special filesystem sharing.
