svntar

svntar is a program to create tar files from a subversion working copy or repository.

Features

• Creates USTAR files (filenames up to 253 characters).
• Supports compression using gzip (-z) bzip2 (-j) and lzma (-l).
• Permissions owner group and mtime are stored if the properties defined by FSVS are set.
• Supports character and block devices created by FSVS (from repos URL only).

Misfeatures

• Non 7bit ASCII characters in filenames probably cause troubles.
• Archiving of a working copy is not well tested yet (who knows what happens with unversioned files).

Versions
