I’m using the unarchive module for deployment. I’d like to take advantage of the diff feature to avoid uploading the tarball, if nothing has changed; but I’m wary of leaving remnants of the previous version (a lesson I’ve learned the hard way), so I currently delete it before unarchiving the new version. Does anyone have any solution to this dilemma?

Thanks,

Graham
