>Description:
tar's '-g' option doesn't handle regional chars properly, it archives wheter or not the file is modified.
>How-To-Repeat:
Creating a test tree containing two directories one without extended chars and one with. Put two or more docs in each and try to tar:
tar -g snapshot -cvf test.tar test-tree/
and then
tar -g snapshot -cvf test2.tar test-tree/

The second tar should ofcause not archive anything except some dirs. But will faithfully archive the complete dir with the regional char.
>Fix:
This all happens due a missing increment in un_quote_string() in port.c.

At line 992 "*to_there = tmp;" should be "*to_there++ = tmp;".
