Right, but what effect does that have? I don't spend a lot of time
actually looking inside archive directories, so from a user perspective it
would seem to not make a difference. Does it affect the efficiency of tla
operations at all (by _far_ the biggest problem with tla is speed)?
As I recall, the baz archive format successfully:
1. Implements a half-assed non-attempt at Windows portability.
2. Ensures that baz and tla are not compatible unless tla merges
comparable changes.
(which it did, of course -- unfortunately -- my bad -- misplaced faith).
3. Gives an excuse for a "design discussion" (heh) in public between
RobertC and me.
