You may not care. The problem is about easy recovery of individual files plus storing and not deleting the older versions of files for some time (users of the file servers tend to come around crying "I have deleted this important file created a week before accidentally, where can I find it?"). The way it is done I can expose the directory hierarchy as read-only to users and they can get the damn file themselves, they just need to unzip it. If they were to search through a huge zipfile to find it, that could be a problem for them. -- It's a man's life in a Python Programming Association. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
