- -------

from 2.5.15 to 2.5.16
* bug fix: while rechecking sparse file (-ah option) during a merging
  operation, dar wrongly reported CRC mismatch for saved plain files
* fixed man page about sparse-file handling while merging: To remove
  sparse file datastructure during a merging operation you need to
  set --sparse-file-min-size to a valuer larger than all file sizes
  contained in the archive (for example 1E for one exabyte)
* bug fix: met when using compression and creating the archive to
  dar's standard output (ssh) and leading files to be corrupted in the
  archive and reported as such.
* optimisation of escape_sequence skippability (avoids trying skipping
  and failing for some corner cases, when we can detect it does even
  not worth trying)
