Anyway, I don't think the pax headers are to blame here.
Hmph, I am reasonably sure I saw a test that created an archive from
a commit (hence with pax header), asked platform tar to either list
the contents or actually extracted to the filesystem, and tried to
ensure nothing but the paths in the repository existed in the
archive. When the platform tar implementation treated the pax
header as an extra file, such a test sees something not in the
repository and fails.
t5000 avoids that issue by comparing only the contents of a
subdirectory. The script could do with a little cleanup, in any case.
Moving ZIP testing into its own file, more explicit pax header file
handling, speaking file and directory names, and modern coding style
would all be nice. :)
