Take a close look at TarOutputStream.putNextEntry. See if you come to the same conclusion that I did - namely before my change truncate meant omit.

Answer my previous question and then I will do the necessary cleanup. I also assume that you are otherwise OK with the warn behavior I have implemented? - Sam Ruby
