[Bug-tar] Incremental restore seems to first create then rename

[Felix E. Klee]

Hi,

when I try to restore an listed-incremental backup where in an
incremental step

    a directory A is to be renamed into B and a file A is to be created

then I get an error message

    tar: A: Cannot open: File exists.

I assume that this error is caused because tar tries to create the new
file before doing the renaming.

To reproduce the problem, run the attached file. Using "tar (GNU tar)
1.14" running on Slackware 9.1, it produces the following output.

    tar: 2store/a: Cannot open: File exists
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a workaround?

Felix
