I’m on a Mac and they don’t always behave as you would expect coming from a

brand of tar:

$ tar tavf proj-data-1.17RC2.tar.gz | grep '\._'
tar: Option -a is not permitted in mode -t

-a is likely a GNU tar specific option. I'm remember cursing grep on Solaris not supporting -A/-B/-C back in the day.

`tar tzvf proj-data-1.17RC2.tar.gz` does work on Mac, but it ignores the ._ files, they are also not present after unpacking the archive.

Unpacking the file surprisingly doesn’t reveal anything either. You’d think 
this sort of thing was easy to figure out but here we are. I am not the release 
manager you deserve but the one you got. Sorry.

Apparently the ._ files are an Mac thing for extended attributes:
