Description

How to reproduce:

  1. Create any temporary dir
  2. cd to this temporary dir
  1. Create two archives:
      mkdir -p a/b
      touch a/b/d
      ln -s d a/b/e
      tar -cf good.tar a
      rm -rf a
      mkdir -p a/b/c
      touch a/b/c/d
      ln -s d a/b/c/e
      tar -cf bad.tar a
      rm -rf a
    
  1. Enter to the good.tar and cd to a/b. Symlink e points to d and it is not stale.
  2. Enter to the bad.tar and cd to a/b/c. Symlink e points to d and it is stale.

The difference between that symlinks is a deep where symlink is. The deep of 2 or less directories is ok, symlinks are not stale. The deep of 3 or more directories is not ok, symlinks are stale.

Bisect told that first bad commit is [e2c326997f703ca111a7d3e079c12c26aeaddcbe].
