$ touch myfile myfile.exe
$ tar -cvf mytar.tar myfile.exe myfile
$ tar -xvf mytar.tar
Only myfile will be written to the filesystem
Yep, apparently its "by design" :(
It causes us pain regularly so we would like this fairly
recent change reverted so behaviour is once again predicatable
and it doesnt break simple takess like extracting archive.
