Name¶
qtar — a somewhat shorter tar invocation
Syntax¶
qtar [-x] [--ext|--svn]
archive_file [tar-options...] files...
Options¶
- -x
- Exclude SCM directories like "CVS", ".svn",
".hg" and ".git".
- --ext
- Sort files by extension
- --svn
- Sort files such that file.c and .svn/file.c are next to each other, to
yield better compression of SVN checkout tar archives where the .svn file
is often a copy of the former.
