From: Pedro Alvarez Piedehierro <palvare...@gmail.com>
Sometimes the tar files will contain pax extended attributes to deal
with cases where the information needed doesn't fit in a standard
ustar entry.
One of these cases is when the path is larger than 100 characters. A
pax entry will appear containing two standard ustart entries. The first
entry will have an 'x' typeflag, and contain the the extended attributes.
The pax extended attributes contain one or multiple records constructed as
follows:
"%d %s=%s\n", , ,
This commit makes sure that we always read the extended attibutes from
pax entries, and in the case of finding one, we parse its records
looking for 'path' information. If this information is found, it's
stored to be used in the next ustar entry.
