-# Description: ensure tar correctly respects -C option when deleting
-# files due to the --remove-files option.
+# Description: If tar 1.26 was called with the --remove-files option and told
+# to archive (and thus delete) two subdirectories where the second was
+# specified relative to the first, it would be unable to delete the
+# second directory (and its contents), since the relative path would no
+# longer be valid once the first directory was deleted.
 #
-# This case checks the use of an absolute -C option followed by a relative -C,
+# This case checks for successful deletion of all archived items
 # in --create/incremental mode.
 #
+# Note: tar 1.27 fails this test case due to a more general issue
+# archving-and-removing a full directory tree when run in incremental
+# mode; see remfiles09b.at for that specific test case.
