import-tars behaves very oddly when I try to import the Subversion
tarballs. (For example,
http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.3.tar.bz2
triggers this problem.) It creates two toplevel directories,
subversion-1.4.3 and subversion-1.4.3subversion. The former seems to
contain at least almost all files; the latter has only a handful of
files, all with very long names.
I looked at this tarball with midnight commander (under MacOS X) and
i saw 2 directories, subversion/ and subversion-1.4.3/. Then i looked
at it with GNU tar (1.14) and saw only subversion-1.4.3/.
Could it simply be that import-tars can't handle long filenames
somehow? (This is pure speculation, since I know absolutely nothing
about the tar format.)
I don't know, but mc does the same thing. I'll look at it later (i
have more time at 18:00 +0200).
