Description

MergeContent using TAR for packing allows for storing permissions in the newly created tarball via the tar.permissions attribute on incoming files.  UnpackContent discards all permissions information on extraction.  This makes it impossible to restore a file from a tarball with previously recorded permissions via NiFi.
