In fact, I have no real fix suitable for committing "as is".
All I have is description of some serious problem (regression)
and no more than draft patch that shows root of the problem.
The patch may have some design issues or break another corner case
or be incomplete in a way etc. However, it fixes common case
and allows to continue using bsdtar for backups.
My question is not about this patch but about ${Subject}.
"Common protocol" assumes at least moderate level of upstream support
and this assumption seems to be wrong for libarchive presently.
