No, I don't have a working implementation. (I basically reimplemented
TarFile.inodes to work around this; I was using TarFile.dereference, so I
already had to do the hard-linking manually.)

Good point. Do you happen to have a working implementation already?

New submission from Michael Gold mg...@qnx.com:
When I call tar.gettarinfo (where tar is a TarFile instance), the inode
information is inserted into tar.inodes. If I later call tar.gettarinfo on a
linked file, the returned TarInfo will have type LNKTYPE.
I think it's incorrect to store this
Michael Gold mg...@qnx.com added the comment:
Actually, TarFile should also have a separate method to take a TarInfo instance
and modify its type to LNKTYPE if applicable. gettarinfo can call that.
This way the user can use a TarInfo object created before any files are added,
and can easily
