Hello,

string comparison without any mask expansion (this is expected to be the
result of a find command for example).

no simple_mask uses the glob expressions

no simple_path_masks are true whether the argument is a subdir of the

Well it is quite like same_path_mask (string comparison) but it has the
difference to accept absolute paths in the file listing. The mask_list
constructor thus receive a prefix to append to relative paths for
comparison. This prefix should be chosen equal to the value given as to
the fs_root argument given to archive's method.
