>Description:
Archives with hard linked files don't work correctly with --strip-components
option. bsdtar doesn't take care of removing pathname elements from hard link
pathnames and thus tries to create hard links incorrectly when extracting
archives.

There is also a small mistake on the bsdtar(1) manual page. --strip-components
option has effect only in the x mode not in the t mode.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ tar --version
bsdtar 2.5.5 - libarchive 2.5.5
$ mkdir test
$ touch test/a
$ ln test/a test/b
$ tar -cf test.tar test
$ rm -fr test
$ tar -x --strip-components 1 -f test.tar
a: Can't create 'a': No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

See also the attached regression test.

>Fix:
I have attached two patches here. The first one is a regression test for
--strip-components and hard links. Second patch is an attempt to fix the bug.
The fix is not complete because tar(1) still fails if the "base file" is
not extracted because of --strip-components. (The last assertion fails in the
regression test.)
