Micah, I downloaded the librejs tarball from https://gnu.org/s/librejs,
i.e. this url:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/librejs/librejs-6.0.9.tar.gz

I downloaded it to /tmp/ and unpacked it with:
  tar xvzf librejs-6.0.9.tar.gz

and it created the directory librejs-6.0.9 for me. So, this seems to be
the expected behavior for me. I'm curious what you did differently that
caused the incorrect behavior.


The command I'm using to generate this tarball is:
    git archive --format=tar.gz --prefix=librejs-6.0.4 6.0.4
>librejs-6.0.4.tar.gz

Which is documented in the release process here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/librejs.git/tree/doc/manual/librejs.txt#n590


Let me know how this can be improved.


Thanks,
Nik
