Oh no! It's not gone, but just doesn't occur anymore as often as it did
before... I'll analyze Git's ``git checkout'' source code.
I've never seen any inconsistencies using and repeating these commands:
$ rm -rf ar_master*
$ (cd git/ && git archive master) | (mkdir ar_master && cd ar_master/ &&
tar -x)
$ diff -x .git -ru tar_master/ ar_master/
Or:
$ (cd git/ && git archive master) | md5sum
Thus, the ``upper layers'' of Git seem to be fine.

This really didn't show up anymore -- so far...
