[issue31557] tarfile: incorrectly treats regular file as directory

[Joe Tsai]

Joe Tsai <joetsai at google.com> added the comment:

It creates a number of nested directories only because GNU (and BSD) tar implicitly create missing parent directories. If you cd into the bottom-most folder, you will see "foo.txt".
