I was missing what the rules for regions of applicability of pax global headers are. Now, if I could convince... something... to report what comments apply to what files, I'd be set. And that's clearly beyond the scope of git. (Although maybe git-get-... should know how to invoke some other utility on a multiple-project archive once some such tool is known.) -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
