Paul, I miss that ^^ sorry - I'm afraid that building a meaningful changelog for xattr patch is impossible even for me now. I tried to comment important parts of patch in the code. If there is something you don't understand, please hit me. Note that there is still the problem noted by Tim here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2012-10/msg00017.html .. we are not able to store/restore extended attributes containing '=' character in the keyword properly - same situation in star as our patch uses the same approach.
