fstream.Reader(path) includes directory

[shevchuk]

There is no way to make reader read a subset of files excluding their parent directory.
Even if fstream.Reader("./") is called it includes a parent folder.

Just ran into this. I'm trying to make tarballs for the Docker API which expects a flat structure.

fstream.Reader({ path: __dirname, root: './' }) is worked for me to exclude parent directory name.

Also you can pass fromBase property to tar module.
