I don't know if this qualifies as a bug, or if it's intentional,
or what... but an archive made with `tar' does not include any
whiteouts.  As far as I can see, neither does `pax'.  Which is
great if I want to get the deleted files back, but...

Is there a way to archive a directory that contains whiteouts
without losing them?  I can't seem to get anything to work.
(Not that I *need* to, I'm just curious...)


thanks
