Issue #3645: Create directly compressed archives

Hello all,

I am planning to implement the requirement mentioned in issue
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3645. I hope no one
has yet started on this.

I am going to add an option "--archive" to export command. If specified,
the output of the export command will be in tar format. which will be
dumped to STDOUT. The user can pipe it to any other program thereafter.

For a user it will be like this.

$ svn export . --archive > /tmp/export.tar

or

$ svn export . --archive | bzip2 > /tmp/export.tat.bz2

Any valuable inputs will be helpful.

Thanks and Regards
Noorul
