 GRASS 7 trunk, rev 61890 on Xubuntu 14.04. In the t.vect.export module,
 the compression argument indicates that the options are no compression,
 gzip compression, or bzip2 compression. If no compression is selected, the
 output is still stored in an archive that cannot be extracted via the file
 explorer or command line (with tar -x), though t.vect.import can still
 read the archive. If no compression is used, the pack or GML should be
 stored in a folder.

 Steps to reproduce (Given an existing vector temporal dataset exists):
 1. run "t.vect.export input=vector_stds output=~/tmp/export/stds_export
 compression=no", replace input and output arguments with actual data/path.
 2. In the output folder, an archive will exist instead of a folder.
