This is the most crucial issue here, as far as I am concerned: there are already tons of .zip files out there that were created by git archive, and there will inevitably be loads of tons more *having the current pax header format*. So tools wanting to deal with Git archives will have to handle those as well, i.e. do *precisely* as Ren=C3=A9 suggested and use get-tar-commit-id.= As such, the value of changing the format *now* is a bit like closing the barn's door after pretty much all of the horses left (except the old one that has a few troubles getting up in the morning but that is too nice to the kids to shoot). > Sure thing.

I.e. get your head down into the code and come up with a patch (because otherwise it is unlikely that your idea will go anywhere)? Ciao, Johannes --8323329-863531931-1453968785=:2964--
