The documentation doesn't say. From the code, it looks like comments
(as lines beginning with '#' or ';') are supported but are buggy
on
remote runs (probably what you are seeing).
Since a major purpose of --files-from is to specify arbitrary filenames
safely, I think comments should not be supported, at least not when
--from0 is specified. Wayne? Once this is decided, I can make any
necessary fixes.
