There's also a lot of bundler vcr data which is already
gz compressed, so not recompressible with xz.

spec/rubyspec/ still exists in SVN and it looks like there's a
lot of empty directories underneath.  "git svn" ignores
empty directories, but I guess the tarball is created from SVN.
We can remove those empty trees ASAP and save our users' inodes.
