1. Any chances it will (can) get to future official releases?
2. Are there modifications needed for the patch to be done to be accepted to
upstream?

to be maintained the last two years (but the absense of releases from 2009 till
2013 is not a good sign imho).
But it definitely deserves some time to look at it deeper.
Thanks for pointing to star!

no (if a symlink exists it must reference an existing
file or an error is returned),
2. no,
3. it must behave as if --ignore-missing is not used.
It's just a quick thought. I have no use case for --ignore-missing during
archive creation right now so I might be wrong.
What do you think?

Hi!
I have an issue with gnu tar behaving differently from how I'd like
it to do. Below is the description. Is it a bug?
BRIEF:
When listing archive contents (-t) and using --show-transformed-names
option, directories don't have trailing slashes.
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
The following shell session
I don't see a bug here. The behavior that I think you're
expecting is controlled by other options (--overwrite-dir,
--keep-old-files, --overwrite, --recursive-unlink, --unlink-first).
Thank you for the response.
The behaviour of -h shown in my message is exactly what
I need and I just wanted
Hi!
In tar info page the following is written:
When reading from an archive, the `--dereference' (`-h') option
causes `tar' to follow an already-existing symbolic link when `tar'
writes or reads a file named in the archive.
I wrote a simple script and it seems that symlinks to files
