Probably:
$ gtar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.12
If I stop t5000-tar-tree.sh by inserting an exit before the 10th test
(which is the first one that fails):
t5000-tar-tree.sh:
...
test_expect_success \
'git get-tar-commit-id' \
'git get-tar-commit-id <b.tar >b.commitid &&
diff .git/$(git symbolic-ref HEAD) b.commitid'
exit
test_expect_success \
'extract tar archive' \
'(cd b && "$TAR" xf -) <b.tar'
...
and then execute the test commands manually, I get:
$ cd t/trash\ directory
$ cd b
$ gtar xf - < ../b.tar
/apps/bin/gtar: Unknown file type 'g' for pax_global_header, extracted as normal file
/apps/bin/gtar: : Could not create directory: No such file or directory
/apps/bin/gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
$ find .

The native tar returns:
$ tar xf - < ../b.tar
tar: directory checksum error
