Description
open .gz ,copy other file into .gz, not add file , actually is append content to exists file .
It's a bug, please fix it, thank you .
Gzip archive can store only one file. But Gzip archive can contain a multiply (concatenated) streams which are extracted as one file. When you copy file into Gzip archive then it added as an additional stream. So it is not a bug, it is a feature. But I am agree that it looks strange.

got it .
I beleive the name of this issue has to be changed to "gz plugin does not ask about overwriting the gz file when packing"
To understand the issue it is the best just to check how gzip behaves:
So we can assume, that the most logic solution to the current bug would be to make gz plugin to ask when copying any file into gz "Do you wish to overwrite?" and if yes, then not to add the stream, but to delete the existing gz file and repack the new file into gz inheriting the name from the deleted gz.
