Re: EOL conversion of files in .tar archives

[Richard Stallman]

    Apropos: take the tar.gz file in
    
<URL:http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/git-snapshots/git/git-2007-05-20.tar.gz>
    (it will be available only a week or so).

    Move cursor down to .gitignore and press RET.  Instead you'll get
    Makefile, the file one line lower.  In general, on every line you'll
    get the file one line lower.

    It would appear that this is packed with some version of tar that GNU
    tar can perfectly well unpack, but with output confusing tar-mode.  My
    tar version is tar (GNU tar) 1.16.

Would someone please debug this and fix it in the trunk?
Please ack when it is done.
