Yes, but "tla export [options] [revision] [dir]" already denotes both.

I can't really add something new to what I already said. No matter what
parameters are specified in different dirs, "export" fails for me.

  % cd $HOME

  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai
  Cannot determine revision of directory .
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai--1.3--patch-16
  Cannot determine revision of directory .

  % tla-1.3.3.99 get address@hidden/tla--atai
  % cd tla--atai--1.3--patch-16

  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai
  Parent dir of output directory address@hidden/ does not exist
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai--1.3--patch-16
  Parent dir of output directory address@hidden/ does not exist

  % tla-1.3.3.99 export unexisting-dir        
  Error during call to `vu_access' for (null) (Bad address)
  PANIC: I/O error
  % mkdir existing-dir
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export existing-dir  
  Error during call to `vu_access' for (null) (Bad address)
  PANIC: I/O error
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai--1.3--patch-16 dir
  Error during call to `vu_access' for (null) (Bad address)
  PANIC: I/O error

I'd think all "export" commands above should work. Do they work for you?

Actually, I finally was able to get one working case:

  % mkdir address@hidden
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai
  % tla-1.3.3.99 export address@hidden/tla--atai--1.3--patch-16
  % ls address@hidden
  tla--atai  tla--atai--1.3--patch-16

Still, even with this directory manually created, all other usages fail.
