Comment:

 Fixed points 2 and 3 above. This should be enough to give much better
 behaviour in the case of a truncated download.

   * Decompress the repo index atomically.
   So if decompression fails (eg if the index is corrupt) then
   the decompressed file does not get (partially) written.

   * Use updated tar code
   Much more robust. Correctly detects trucated archives.
 }}}

 For the remaining point see #338.
