winzip and tar.gz files unpacking into 2 directories instead
of 1??
subversion
\
bindings
\
java
subversion-1.x.x
\
everything else
Is this a winzip bug caused by some weird way your packing them??
Winrar works fine, its just winzip doing this.
I apologize if this has been mentioned before but a quick search of the
recent archive didn't come up with anything.

This will be the result of every program that is not able to handle the
prefix extension of POSIX.1 format TAR. The .../bindings/java path
contains file names that exceed 100 characters and thus need the prefix
extension.

If only the uni*es had all the new GNU tar implementation, then it would
be feasible to release in that format.
Apache ANT handles only GNU tar format too.
My approach: install cygwin.
