But the problem is more general than that. Consider, for example, running tar --transform='s,/subdir/,/sub-dir/,' -x -f archive.tar and suppose that archive.tar contains the following symlink: dir1/a -> ../subdir/a The link target contains leading dots, but it is obviously subject to filename transformation, otherwise the extraction won't be correct.
