Package: emacs Severity: minor Tags: patch As currently implemented (tested on 7eb2077f9dd1, 2015-02-06 15:01:12 UTC), tar-untar-buffer uses the default-directory value for the “data” buffer (see tar-data-buffer), instead of the (arguably much less obscure) one for the tar-mode buffer itself (which could easily be changed by the user via M-x cd.) A possible fix is to remember the default-directory value in the same ‘let’ form used to do so for tar-parse-info, along the lines of the patch MIMEd. -- FSF associate member #7257 np.
