> Tar garbage collection generates new generation of tar files once it determines a given file contains garbage. New generations will have the next lower case letter from the alphabet appended to its file name. When the letter 'z' is reached, no further garbage collection is done. 
> I think we need to fix this as otherwise garbage collection just stops working arbitrarily.
