I think I understand your point.  OTOH, I'd rather say "what is
_possibly_ the wrong location", assuming the user is aware of what
they're doing.

As mentioned by Sylvain in the Savannah bug report, one possibility
would be to simply create an archive _within_ the directory at hand,
instead of _at_ this directory, but this would look inconsistent with
former practice at Savannah.  So, yes, this can be seen as a pure
Savannah problem, not a `tla' one.

OTOH, ...

Oh, well, we could argue at length about this but it's not so important
after all.  Maybe a `--really' option would yield consensus?  ;-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
