What do you think about the patch that I sent?
Sorry, could you resend? As I recall you sent one patch and then a followup, and if it's easy for you to coalesce the two that'd make it easier for me to review. (No need for a full patch yet; just proof of concept.)
Now that I'm thinking about it, in general we'll need two directory file descriptors for -C; one for the -C itself, and one for its --one-top-level subdir. This is because of the funky way the file descriptors are recalculated when tar runs low on file descriptors. Does your patch do that?
