[Bug-tar] Error when extract incremental backup file with -C or --strip-components options.

[Jae Sang Lee]

Hi, all
I tried to backup/restore using tar incremental options. But there are some errors when extract archive files.

In detail, there are two archive file.
archive.1.tar and archive.2.tar

archive.1.tar is

test/
test/a
test/b

archive.2.tar is

test/
test/a
test/b <deleted>

Now, I expect file 'b' is deleted when I extract all .tar files. 
If there are no option except --listed-incremental, result is OK.

address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.1.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null
test/
test/a
test/b
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.2.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null
test/
tar: Deleting `test/b'

But, When I plus -C or --strip-components options, deleting isn't happen.

-C

address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ mkdir restore
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.1.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null -C restore/
test/
test/a
test/b
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.2.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null -C restore/
test/
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ ls restore/test/
a  b

--strip-components

address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.1.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null --strip-components 1
test/a
test/b
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ tar xvf archive.2.tar --listed-incremental=/dev/null --strip-components 1
address@hidden:~/archive/restore$ ls
a  archive.1.tar  archive.2.tar  b
