[Bug-tar] restoring from incremental question

[John R. Vanderpool]

i read in some older tar-bug messages about restoring from
--listed-incremental archives that it would then delete files that
were not in that arhive!? (to make it match the state of the archive at
that point)

i hope this code was yanked or never put in (and if it is in, what
version(s) is it in?) because that behavior would mess us up really bad.
