How does UAC remove common files? Can you explain that mechanism?

Sure :)

1. During the execution, all files found by the file collector (file collector uses find to search for files) are stored into [DESTINATION_DIR]/uac-data.tmp/file_collector.tmp file.
2. After the collection phase, UAC runs sort -u on [DESTINATION_DIR]/uac-data.tmp/file_collector.tmp removing any common files.
3. Then, UAC removes any non-regular files (anything that can break the creation of the .tar.gz file, such as socket files) from [DESTINATION_DIR]/uac-data.tmp/file_collector.tmp.
4. The resulting file (after steps 2 and 3) will be used (among others) to create the output file.

I hope you find this useful. Please let me know if you have any questions.
