3709	Wrong directories owner for tar --numeric-owner -g	tester		"Try as root:
mkdir -p TEST/TEST2
echo aaa > TEST/TEST2/aaa.txt
chown 10000:10000 TEST
chown 10001:10001 TEST/TEST2
chown 10002:10002 TEST/TEST2/aaa.txt

tar --numeric-owner -zcf test1.tar.gz TEST
tar --numeric-owner -g test.inc -zcf test2.tar.gz TEST

and now view these tarballs with long view. Directories of test2.tar.gz have owner root instead of 10000 or 10001, but if you untar them using tar -xvf directories owners are correct"	defect	closed	major	4.8.20	mc-vfs	4.8.18	fixed	tar numeric-owner incremental				no branch
