subtle why it comes out the way it does. Once you realize that it
depends on the archiving order, it's also important to realize that
filesystem differences aren't going to break this case. (Some of the
other tests have had to be extensively rewritten to make them
independent of the order in which a particular filesystem returns file
entries.)
(This commit also serves to note the PR number that I accidentally
omitted from the previous commit.)

good job writing this test; it exercises a lot of subtle cases. The
trickiest one is that a hardlink to something that didn't get
extracted should not itself be extracted. In some sense, this is not
the desired behavior (we'd rather restore the file), but it's the best
you can do in a single-pass restore of a tar archive.
The test here should be extended to exercise cpio and newc formats as
well, since their hardlink models are different, which will lead to
different handling of some of these edge cases.

from Jaakko's original patch: I have misgivings about the portability
of the 'z' printf modifier so opted to cast the arguments to (int)
instead.

In particular:
* tar -x -P follows symlinks to existing dirs, but not without -P
* symlinks to files are always replaced
* broken symlinks are always replaced
I would like to provide a way to preview the effects of pathname edits,
but pattern selection has to happen against the unedited path, so it
seems that we have to show people the unedited path to help in
designing selection patterns.
In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes:
* --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract)
* -S (sparsify files on extraction)
* -s (regex filename substitutions)
* Use new libarchive 'linkify' to get correct hardlink handling for
both old and new cpio formats
* Rework 'copy' test to be insensitive to readdir() filename ordering
Most of the credit for this work goes to Joerg Sonnenberger, who
has been duplicating features from NetBSD's 'pax' program.
better job searching for the bsdtar binary to test and the gtar binary
to use for inter-operability testing. It should now find the built
(but not installed) binary if there is one, then search for an
installed binary in a number of standard locations.
* New test scripts exercise some basic functionality
* Most header inclusions are now protected (portability)
* read.c now relies on security checks in libarchive instead
of trying to do its own (optimization)
* -p now enabled by default for root, add --no-same-permissions
to disable it
* Comments, minor style fixes.
