>Description:
Three bugs in mtree:
1. Cannot handle filenames which start with '#'.
This one has been reported before (bin/35226, bin/41246). My "fix" is different
than the one in 35226, I just added the '-N' option which says: when creating a
spec, don't ever produce comments and when reading a spec, don't expect
comments. The aforementioned fix is probably better than mine.
2. Cannot handle symlink values with non-standard chars.
This one has also been reported/fixed previously (bin/35454).
My fix is essentially the same.
3. Mishandles fixing owner/mode of symlinks when using -P
When using -P in conjunction with -U, mtree chown/chmods the
target of the symlink rather than the symlink itself. This does
not match the semantics for creation of a spec file where -P gives
you the attributes of the link.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use mtree on non-trivial hierarchies.
