In this PR, I limit the invalid PAX header to be ignored to size only. uid/gid/atime/mtime can be similarly handled if this approach is appropriate and fits within the scope of this PR. Parsing of similar PAX headers are grouped together now, i.e. GNU.sparse.name/path and GNU.sparse.size/GNU.sparse.realsize/size.
Sorry, something went wrong.
