Hi,
I have a one-line patch in my archive[0] allowing for `make-archive' to
work properly even if the target directory already exists. For an
illustration of the problem and how this affects Savannah users, you can
look at [1].
patch-22
make-archive: Allow for the creation of an archive when directory
is not empty.
While I understand that, by having `make-archive' fail when the target
directory already exists, `tla' places itself on the "safe side", I
believe it currently does more harm than good, especially wrt. to
Savannah. And, in any case, running the same `make-archive' command
twice will fail even with this patch applied (fortunately).
Thanks,
Ludovic.
