xbup: a set of backup tools for Mac OSX
Note: This is a clone of the 2.1 version of Victor Shoup's xbup backup tools. Available here: http://www.shoup.net/xbup/
These are command-line backup utilities that can be used to split off HFS and HFS+ resource forks in files from the classic Macintosh days, into separate "normal" files. These separate files allow the resource forks to be maintained in git, or when transferred to non-HFS filesystems. Later, these same tools can be used to merge the forks back into the original files.
These files are similar in function to Apple Double files (ie https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-792.13.8/bsd/vfs/vfs_xattr.c) Although I've made zero attempt to verify any compatibility with the AppleDouble format.
See the user's manual doc.pdf for installation and usage intructions.
