Yes, I knew I could ignore the file right away. I figured it was due
to some new feature of GNU tar.

Mandrake 8,1 for i586. I had not encountered problems with GNU tar 1.13.22
before. A quick google showed this was not a rare problem, but nothing in
the tarball for git-1.4.0 mentioned this problem. I understand that it may
be a rare or nonexistant problem for the target audience of "git", but just
a sentence or two would be enough clue to help out those who may need it.

Yes, unfortunately, I did reverse it, but even patch can handle that.

A good suggestion, but I am a newbie as you can tell, and would prefer to
play in a sandbox for some time before I would attempt it. Of more concern
to me now is a failed test :

All the other tests worked which is great. Thanks for your reply. Shalom,
