-* TODO file for GNU tar -*- outline -*-
+From: Roesinger Eric <ROESINGE@tce.com>
+Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 18:43:43 -0500
-Tell <tar-bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu> if you feel like volunteering for any
-of these ideas, listed more or less in decreasing order of priority.
-Some TODO items are implicit from received email. See file BACKLOG.
-Significant contributions require written assignments and disclaimers.
-
-.* create.c: diagnostics missing when `goto badfile'.
-.* compare.c: confusion between stderr and stdlis, WARN and ERROR.
-.* --ignore-failed-read might have been defeated.
-.* Better clean sources for list.c, extract.c, create.c and buffer.c.
-.* revise all NAMSIZ references, too often related to short buffers.
-.* current_link_name, current_file_name not always quoted when printed.
-.* Take over script maintenance, implement a `restore' script.
-.* Make a debugging feature out of all `#if 0'.
+It would be useful to be able to use '--remove-files' with '--diff',
+to remove all files that compare successfully, when verifying a backup.
