       --verbose, -v

              Increase verbosity level.  Can be used several times.

EXAMPLES

       mercurial-pristinetar 1.2.3

              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.

BUGS

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