NAME

       mercurial-pristinetar - Recreate pristine source tarballs.

SYNOPSIS

       mercurial-pristinetar [option] ... [version]

DESCRIPTION

       Build  pristine  source  tarballs  from the Mercurial repository in the
       current directory.  If version is specified,  then  tarballs  for  that
       version   is   recreated   instead   of   the  most  recent  from  from
       debian/changelog.

OPTIONS

       --version, -V

              Output version and exit.

       --verbose, -v

              Increase verbosity level.  Can be used several times.

EXAMPLES

       mercurial-pristinetar 1.2.3

              Create   pristine   ../mypack_1.2.3.orig.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma}   and
              ../mypack_1.2.3.orig-component*.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma}  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).
