matsen commented 13 years ago

matsen@rhino2 taxit create -l loco

This creates taxtastic.refpkg.

matsen@rhino2 cd taxtastic.refpkg/
matsen@rhino2 cat CONTENTS.json
{
  "metadata": {
    "create_date": "2011-05-06 16:47:24",
    "format_version": "1.0",
    "locus": "loco"
  }
}

... is this on purpose?

Yes. It makes testing the system much easier, and there's no good reason for it to be disallowed.
