DESCRIPTION

16       The  "dump" command extracts files from a snapshot from the repository.
17       If a single file is selected, it prints its contents to stdout. Folders
18       are  output  as  a tar (default) or zip file containing the contents of
19       the specified folder.  Pass "/" as file name to dump the whole snapshot
20       as an archive file.
21
22
23       The special snapshot "latest" can be used to use the latest snapshot in
24       the repository.
