Subject:   Tar regression from 6.2 to 6.3 with --strip-components
Message-ID:  <000801c87942$098dceb0$0301a8c0@STUDYPC>

Hi,

I've just noticed a regression in tar from 6.2 to 6.3:

Running this on 6.2 produces no output:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p a b output
touch a/file1 b/file2
tar cf test.tar a b
tar -x -C output --strip-components 1 -f test.tar

On 6.3, it produces this output:

: Invalid empty pathname
: Invalid empty pathname
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

And the tar extraction returns a failure.

Is this known?  Should I raise a PR?

Regards,

Jan Mikkelsen
