Summary: tarfile append behavior
Initial Comment:
The builtin file object has the following behavior for the appending ('a') mode:
'The file will be created if it doesn't exist when opened for writing or
appending'
Currently, the file must already exist and it must not be an empty file.
This patch achieves the file object's behavior with a small one-line addition.
If this patch be used, please add a reference to 'herrwitten' in the log.
