There is one infinite loop issue which could potentially deserve a minute:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2014-03/msg00052.html
Also the slightly adjusted (attached) patch for xattrs configure-detection
might help at least to OS X (no need to pass --without-xattrs?):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2014-08/msg00003.html
Other patches (I touched) can probably wait for 1.30, I'll check.
The v1.29 would bring the SEEK_HOLE SEEK_DATA implementation, so sparse
file archiving might be good candidate for pre-release testing.
Thanks,
Pavel
