OPTIONS

--version, -V

--verbose, -v

EXAMPLES

mercurial-pristinetar 1.2.3

Create pristine ../mypack_1.2.3.orig.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma,xz} and ../mypack_1.2.3.orig-component*.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma,xz} if applicable from the repository in the current directory.

BUGS

Generating tarballs compressed by lzma(1) might not end up being identical to the original because the pristine-tar(1) suite does not have support for lzma(1).
