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.
