…spect RootPath This changes the behavior of TarArchive when files are added under the CurrentDirectory. When a TarEntry is created from a file which is under the CurrentDirectory, the path is made relative to the CurrentDirectory. This behavior affects how TarArchive removes a prefix from files set by the RootPath directory. The expectation for RootPath is that a matching substring will be removed from the prefix of entries before they are added to the TarArchive. Because the TarEntry for files under CurrentDirectory are modified, RootPath will not work if it is an absolute path under CurrentDirectory. This change fixes this behavior. If RootPath is a directory under CurrentDirectory, it will apply to entres added to TarArchive. An attempt was made to implement this change without additional string manipulation. This could be done with a modified IndexOf, that enables searching for a substring of the pattern within the target substring. This may improve performance.

This change fixes #337 . I recently encountered this issue, and saw that #392 had been blocked for a while, and so I decided to take a crack at it.
This does not implement this feature using a feature flag as of writing, as suggested in the thread, but does preserve the existing behavior of adding files under the CurrentDirectory in most cases. When the RootPath is set, and is a child path of CurrentDirectory, the CurrentDirectory is removed from the RootPath, to match the behavior of TarEntry.
My main motivation for changing this behavior in TarArchive, instead of TarEntry, is so that the interface of TarEntry remains unchanged.
The existing behavior works like this: (
{workingDirectory}is not a child of/absolute/path/){workingDirectory}/temp{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txttemp/file.txt{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txttemp/file.txttemp{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txtfile.txt/absolute/path//absolute/path/file.txtfile.txt/absolute/path/file.txt/absolute/path/file.txtInstead, per #337 the behavior should be:
{workingDirectory}/temp{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txtfile.txt{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txttemp/file.txttemp{workingDirectory}/temp/file.txtfile.txt/absolute/path//absolute/path/file.txtfile.txt/absolute/path/file.txt/absolute/path/file.txtAn attempt was made to implement this change without additional string manipulation. This could be done with a modified IndexOf, that enables searching for a substring of the pattern within the target substring. This may improve performance.
