I spent some time with this script today but didn't have much luck.  I
wonder what
platform it is for.  The tar that I have on SunOs 5.10  does not recognize the
"tar -z" format  or the embedded commandline format.  "tar --version" does not
work either so I'm not quite sure what version it is.  I changed all
"$(cmd)" to "`cmd`"
and revised the script to use *.tar files instead of *.tar.gz|tgz|bz2
and manually
gunzipped my *.tar.gz files.  Still not quite working, though, but
haven't give up yet
either.  I'm getting

$ gitify.sh libpng-0.71.tar
Creating repository to store source...
Working on libpng-0.71(0.71)...
tar: 2 file(s) not extracted

and src/.git doesn't seem to actually contain any libpng files.

I think I prefer going ahead with "git" rather than "hg" because of apparent
wider acceptance of "git".
