[issue19974] tarfile doesn't overwrite symlink by directory

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

There are several issues with last patch.

* Fails to extract tarfiles containing the ./ directory (very common case).

* And even more common case -- fails to extract non-empty directory.
