+Bugfix: Correctly dump directories into tar files
+
+The dump command previously wrote directories in a tar file in a way which
+can cause compatibility problems. This caused for example 7zip on Windows
+to open tar files containing directories. In addition it was not possible
+to dump directories with extended attributes. These compatibility problems
+were fixed by properly setting the attributes of a directory.
+
+In addition a tar file now includes the name of the owner and group of a file.
