[MarkLogic Dev General] XQSync Zip has root folder with no name

[Michael Blakeley]

The short answer is that XQSync's package format isn't designed to be 
useful to other programs. One option is to write your own plugin classes 
to implement XQSync's Writer and/or Reader abstractions. XQSync's 
existing implementations are SessionWriter, PackageWriter, etc. You 
could also write a simple program that reads the packages as zip 
archives, and ignores anything you don't want to output. Or you could 
try to patch XQSync to do what you want.

However, from this and your other email... maybe it would be better to 
explain what you are trying to accomplish? Perhaps there is a better way.
