[Box Backup] Backup File Order

Hi!

I've found out that SVN repositories of the "fsfs" type can be directly
backed up, without the need for a hot-copy. 
  http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fsfs (bottom)
The only conditions are, that the "db/current" file is backed up first
and that the "db/transactions/" directory is excluded.

While it is easy to exclude directories from a BoxBackup backup, is it
possible to influence the order of the backup?

If it is currently not possible, what is the current order of backups?
Subdirs-first or files-first? Are the files sorted alphabetically before
backed up or are they taken as they come from the filesystem?

Thanks
  Hansi
