Hmph, I am reasonably sure I saw a test that created an archive from a commit (hence with pax header), asked platform tar to either list the contents or actually extracted to the filesystem, and tried to ensure nothing but the paths in the repository existed in the archive. When the platform tar implementation treated the pax header as an extra file, such a test sees something not in the repository and fails. This was on (and I am still on) NetBSD 6.0 not 6.0.1, by the way. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
