[Bug-tar] Files are not removed while extracting incremental archive with -C |

Hello,
when extracting an incremental archive to a directory specified with -C,
files that were removed in later backup levels are _not removed_ from
the disk. It is reproducible with GNU tar 1.26. Behaviour was correct
in version 1.23.
Example:
$ tar --listed-incremental=testdir.snar -cvf testdir.tar testdir
tar: testdir: Directory is new
testdir/
testdir/file1
testdir/file2
$ rm testdir/file2
$ tar --listed-incremental=testdir.snar -cvf testdir.1.tar testdir
testdir/
$ tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null -xvf testdir.tar -C extract/
testdir/
testdir/file1
testdir/file2
$ tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null -xvf testdir.1.tar -C extract/
testdir/
$ ls extract/testdir/
file1 file2 <---- file2 should not exists here!
Best Regards,
Robert
