Description Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-19 07:38:33 UTC

I tried to propose patch some time ago upstream, but rather mentioning here
in Red Hat bugzilla to not forget about it:
https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar@gnu.org/msg04379.html

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2016-05-10 06:44:37 UTC

Patch is now merged upstream.  Will be included (hopefully very soon) in tar
v1.29 release.
