22681	TarArchive has_leading_dir usage bug	phpdude	nobody	"I found small bug in django.utils.archive.TarArchive.extract function.

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/archive.py#L147

There members is a list of TarInfo objects (tarfile.TarInfo), not just a list of path strings.

Because of this bug django cannot recognize leading_dir in tar archives.

Take a look for example startproject with tar and zip archive.
