# -f needs to be the last param or you'll get "Cannot stat: No such file of directory"
# --exclude-vcs doesn't work on OS X 10.9.5, thus --exclude=.svn
# * means all child files/directories, but not this one. This is useful for excluding "trunk".
tar --exclude=.svn -czvf ~/Desktop/archive.tar.gz *
# Verify the above worked
tar -tzvf ~/Desktop/archive.tar.gz | less
