Summary 0000383: tar cannot add / to archive
Description tar overwrites the last / of path command line options with \0. If the path is / this results in an empty string which cannot be found. Example:
# tar -cv / > /dev/null
tar: : No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I have attached a patch which checks if the position to be overwritten with \0 is equal to the beginning of the option.
