Minor compatibility issue:

The archives created by the "cg-export" command contain entries that cause problems with older versions of GNU tar:

-> cg-export /tmp/foo.tar.bz2 -> tar jtvf /tmp/foo.tar.bz2 ?rw------- git/git 52 1970-01-01 01:00:00 pax_global_header unknown file type `g' drwxr-xr-x git/git 0 2005-09-22 09:46:19 foo/ -rw-r--r-- git/git 134225 2005-09-22 09:46:19 foo/CHANGELOG -rw-r--r-- git/git 15701 2005-09-22 09:46:19 foo/COPYING -rw-r--r-- git/git 9960 2005-09-22 09:46:19 foo/CREDITS -rw-r--r-- git/git 9578 2005-09-22 09:46:19 foo/MAINTAINERS ... -> tar jxf foo.tar.bz2 tar: pax_global_header: Unknown file type 'g', extracted as normal file ... -> tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 ... -> rpm -q git-core cogito git-core-0.99.7-1 cogito-0.15-1
