However, if I repeat the process without changing the underlying files,
a.tar.gz is different, and thus it needs to get checked in again.
Is there an option set I can use to prevent this? I am using tar-1.19.
Note that, apart from anything the tar command is doing, the "gzip"
records the current date/time inside the .gz file.
Good point; I wonder if bzip2 or lzma would
avoid this problem? I don't think either
of them records the current time.
Chris: If you do solve this, please let us know
what you did.
