Would --checkpoint be more suitable? I'm worried -v might flood the buildbot
logs (or would this output not be included in their logs?).

There are some pretty large files there. I am afraid that if they are grouped
together, we still might run into this timeout.

Let's see what happens with this change first. We can optimize this later if
this works.

For the record, "tar c --checkpoint" will print one line every 100KB
(uncompressed). I suppose if you look at it from a per-file perspective, it is
grouping many files together, but its also splitting up all files larger than
100KB (or even 10KB, if you set --checkpoint=1).

I agree that checkpoint might be a better choice.
