Subject: tar: go back to absolutifying filenames in normalize_filename for now
X-Git-Url: https://git.brokenzipper.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=427b3b8c79b64f6ca08adbfcea7aa54f4496f124;p=chaz%2Ftar

tar: go back to absolutifying filenames in normalize_filename for now

* src/misc.c (normalize_filename): For now, go back to making
filenames absolute, even though this causes 'tar' to fail when
getcwd fails.  However, do not attempt to resolve ".." as this
does not work with symlinks.  Also, do the right thing with
leading file system prefixes and on hosts where // != /.
