Subject: [PATCH] Make release tarballs friendlier to older tar versions
Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2006 15:25:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060618132533.GA31005@lsrfire.ath.cx> (raw)

git-tar-tree adds an extended pax header to archives if its first
parameter points to a commit.  It confuses older tars and isn't
very useful in the case of git anyway, so stop doing it.

Idea: Junio, implementation: Junio.  I just wrote it up. :-)
