Hi,
I've just tested CVS tar to see how it behaves on filenames that
are too long for V7 archives.
I see a diagnostic has been added. But it is just a warning that
is the file is not dumped, and tar exits with $? = 0.
Wouldn't it make sense to turn this into an error? Not being
able to dump a file seems bad enough to warrant an error.
