Hi Jonas, Thanks a lot for such a detailed report and for the patch. You are right, that certainly qualifies as a bug. I'm going to push your patch to the git head. Regarding your questions:
> - Are the modified locations sufficient? Yes, they are. > Is it save to assume the resulting archive is a valid archive > (and can be unpacked)? Yes, of course. The resulting archive will be a valid tar archive. > - Should the modified behaviour only be enabled by a command > line option? I don't think so. It is a bugfix, and as such it should rather be the default behavior. Best regards, Sergey
