hello,

I tried the following:

rm -rf /usr/games
mtree -deU -f /usr/src/mtree/BSD.usr.dist -p /usr

It was not able to create /usr/games/hide because it didn't create dir
/usr/games first. I tried with -p /an-empty-dir (make hierarchy DESTDIR=...)
and it worked as expected.

It also worked fine with:
mkdir /usr/games
mtree -deU -f /usr/src/mtree/BSD.usr.dist -p /usr

Can someone explain me why it fails in the first case?
