I do appreciate your work on libarchive and bsdtar, and I'm very pleased
we have a totally BSD clean tar.
However, it's always been my understanding that doing development
in the main repository was frowned upon. After all, that's the reason
why there's a projects sub-repository. I fail to see the reason for
committing this, or portability-only changes as you committed in the
past, as a work-in-progress when you could have kept it somewhere else
until such time as you were totally ready.
Again: I like you work and I like this particular change, I'm mentioning
it now because I've thought about this again and again in several
instances.
Bye,
Andrea
