Forgive me if this is not the most appropriate place
to ask a question about bsdtar.

Does anyone here know a workaround for the issue of
long file paths in bsdtar. i.e. bsdtar crashes if the
location of the folder to compress has a long path.

I know that the new posix format does not have file
path limitations like the gnu format which bsdtar uses
by default. But I haven't been able to figure out how
to fix this in bsdtar.

bsdtar is at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm
