lib/libarchive archive_read_support_format_tar.c
Log:
History: A few very, very old tar programs used the filename to
distinguish files from dirs (trailing '/' indicated a dir). Since
POSIX.1-1987, this convention is no longer necessary. However, there
are current tar programs that pretend to write POSIX-compliant
archives, yet store directories as "regular files", relying on this
old filename convention to save them. <sigh> So, move the check for
this old convention so it applies to all tar archives, not just those
identified as "old."
