yes, that’s exactly what it is designed for - I already had a vague feeling I’d
been dealing with a similar problem
not so long ago even when I reported this problem, sorry for not following up
on this right away.
Something like
TarFilesRename: Readme:Readme.txt README:README.txt
should probably do it (chances are the case variants have the same content and
can be dumped anyway,
at least they all have identical lengths…)
HTH,
Derek
