.HP
\fBmercurial-pristinetar\fR 1.2.3
.IP
Create pristine ../mypack_1.2.3.orig.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma,xz} and
\&../mypack_1.2.3.orig\-component*.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma,xz} if applicable from the
repository in the current directory.

.SH BUGS

Generating tarballs compressed by \fBlzma\fR(1) might not end up being
identical to the original because the \fBpristine\-tar\fR(1) suite does
not have support for \fBlzma\fR(1).
