2777	tar-1.25	bdubbs@…	Matthew Burgess	"New version.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.25.tar.bz2 

Noteworthy changes in this release:

 * Fix extraction of empty directories with the -C option in effect.
 * Fix extraction of device nodes.
 * Make sure name matching occurs before eventual name transformation.

Tar 1.24 changed the ordering of name matching and name transformation
so that the former saw already transformed file names.  This made it
impossible to match file names in certain cases.  It is fixed now.

 * Fix the behavior of tar -x --overwrite on hosts lacking O_NOFOLLOW.

 * Improve the testsuite.

 * Alternative decompression programs.
