Subject: document supported formats for `--mac-metadata` - see #2041 (#2046)
X-Git-Tag: v3.7.3~29
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c857aa5f91c7120058340feb895d45a91441774e;p=thirdparty%2Flibarchive.git

document supported formats for `--mac-metadata` - see #2041 (#2046)

Doc fix to clarify that `--mac-metadata` is only supported for certain
formats. Hopefully just a short-term fix until support is added for
other formats. (See discussion on #2041)
