as an alturnative to useing tar, what about useing a git pack?
create a git archive with no history, just the current files, and then pack
it with agressive delta options.
Isn't that what a patch.gz is? Diff generates the deltas and then they are
compressed. Can't get much simpler or better than that.
not quite, a git pack includes everythign you need to get the full source, a
patch.gz requires that you have the prior version of the source to start with.
