Thanks, Gareth.
I'm hoping to get some time this week to backport a lot of changes from
bsdtar/libarchive in -CURRENT back to 5-STABLE. I'll let you know when
I get that done.

Just to add, I seem to be experiencing similar behaviour using the -P option:
# tar -P -cvf archive.tar /usr/archive/Pimani/
.. files get added
# tar -P -uvf archive.tar /usr/archive/Pimani/
a /usr/archive/Pimani/Pimani Presentation/multimedia/August
2005/LM_001_PRINT_050119/Thumbs.db
a /usr/archive/Pimani/Pimani Presentation/multimedia/August 2005/26

Result: Directory structure was static but two files were added again.
The non-absolute path workaround worked fine:
# cd /
# tar -cvf archive.tar usr/archive/Pimani/
.. files added
# tar -uvf archive.tar usr/archive/Pimani/
Result: No files were added again (good).
Just to bring to your attention.

Hi Tim,
5-STABLE is sufficiently different that the patch doesn't apply,
unfortunately. It will take me a few days to figure out whether
it's best to work up a different patch for 5-STABLE or whether
I should MFC a lot of work from 6-STABLE to 5-STABLE.
Unfortunately our server is also on the 5 stable branch.
Please check that the following does work (without the leading '/'):
tar -cf foo.tar usr/dir_a/dir_b
tar -uvf foo.tar usr/dir_a/dir_b
This works just fine. Thank you for response and suggested workarounds.
