Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-230:
-----------------------------------------
Directories are only to be expected inside the archive if they've been added
explicitly. TAR - like all othe archiving formats - doesn't need directory
entries at all.
It is very common to create directories as needed when extracting archives.
> Tar archive is not being read correctly

> The TAR archiver is not reading existing tar files correctly. It doesn't
> happen with every tar, just some of my tar files. I'll attach an example tar
> file. The first file it reads is not the root directory, but another file in
> the tar with "._" appended to the front of the file name for some reason.
