I was searching for an equivalent of git-archive for creating a bit identical
version of the tar.gz each time I run it. I couldn't find anything like that
and svn export .. && tar cvfz .. will result in different hash sums for
different people/time it gets started. This has different reasons:
Mirror subversion repositories
There are different ways to generate mirrors of subversion repositories like
svnadmin dump, svnadmin hotcopy or svk but you need
more privileges to do it or will not create a "perfect" copy. Since subversion
1.4 exists a new alternative svnsync. It is really easy to create a private
mirror with only some steps (you should check user in pre-revprop-change before
make it public accessible).
