This change fixes the bug. + * Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with the GNU convention. +* Skipping archive members is sped up. + +* Bugfixes: +** Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option +** GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than 100 characters. +Do not allow multivolume archives to begin with such filenames. +** If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice, +previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they +were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and +lead to removing the already extracted copy.
