I was updating this week's "What's cooking" report, and described this one like so:

    * js/import-tars-do-not-make-phony-files-from-pax-headers (2020-03-24) 1 commit
     - import-tars: ignore the global PAX header

     The import-tars importer (in contrib/fast-import/) used to create
     phony files at the top-level of the repository when the archive
     contains global PAX headers, which made its own logic to detect and
     omit the common leading directory ineffective, which has been
     corrected.

I guess we are ready to mark it as "Will merge".

Thanks.
