Hi,

I've just started using `dar` and I ABSOLUTELY love it. I've been looking
for a comprehensive backup program and `dar` does so exactly 100% what I
want in a way that feels wonderful.

On to my situation: I used `dar` with `-z9` to compress my projects
folders. When I viewed the archive (using `dar -l`) it showed me that some
files were worse compressed (`[Worse]`). These were all files in the
`.git/objects/...` folders.

So it seems that compression does not work well for `.git` objects. But I
cannot figure out how to exclude them from compression. When I read the
documentation for `-Z` (exclude compression) I see it applies to file names
only but `.git` objects are not having similar file names so how should I
exclude them?

Hope someone can help. And thanks to everyone who has contributed to
creating this wonderful program.
/C
