[PATCH 3/4] contrib/diffall: teach diffall to handle working copy changes without tar

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The 'tar' utility is not available on all platforms (some only support
'gnutar').  An earlier commit created a work-around for this problem,
but a better solution is to eliminate the use of 'tar' completely.
