 *                          gzip: compress revisions independently
 *                          concat: concatenate revisions and compress in chunks (default)
 *  -c <chunk-size>     maximum number of revisions in a concat chunk
 *  -b <begin-date>     earliest date to check for uncompressed revisions
 *  -e <end-date>       latest revision date to compress
 *  -s <start-id>       the old_id to start from
 *  -f <max-factor>     the maximum ratio of compressed chunk bytes to uncompressed avg. revision bytes
 *  -h <threshold>      is a minimum number of KB, where <max-factor> cuts in
 *  --extdb <cluster>   store specified revisions in an external cluster (untested)
