Package:  emacs
Severity: minor

	As currently implemented, package.el signals an error trying to
	process a .tar archive which has a pax_global_header entry, –
	such as the archives produced with $ git archive --format=tar.

	Please thus consider the patch MIMEd.

	* lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package-untar-buffer): Ignore
	archive entries with link type being 55.
	(package-tar-file-info): Consider the second file name in the
	archive if the first one has no directory component.

	* lisp/tar-mode.el (tar-untar-buffer): Ignore archive entries
	with link type being 55 (pax global extended header.)
