I won't be using the existing scripts for my little archive builder. I just
thought I'd show you guys what I've got. If you want to stick with broken
shell, be my guest ;)
Out of the expectation that you _might_ use it, I coded it so it'd run on
windows, OSX, and unix. Any OS really. There are no assumptions about path
separators, infact, no assumptions about anything. and is supports building
direct from svn. I only added the "local" mode in case it might get added.
Anyhoo, thanks for taking a look.
