Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-324:
-----------------------------------------
GNU tar itself uses {{LongLink}} both for long file names and long link names:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tar.git/tree/src/create.c#n547
So your archive hasn't been created by GNU tar but likely by a different tool
that tried to mimic the GNU long file name mode.
Anyway, GNU tar will happily extract the proper file name since - unlike
Commons Compress - it only cares for the "linkType" flag and completely ignores
the name of the tar entry. We could and probably should do the same.
