       The  "dump" command extracts files from a snapshot from the repository.
       If a single file is selected, it prints its contents to stdout. Folders
       are  output  as  a tar (default) or zip file containing the contents of
       the specified folder.  Pass "/" as file name to dump the whole snapshot
       as an archive file.


       The special snapshot "latest" can be used to use the latest snapshot in
       the repository.

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero  if  there
       was any error.
