When extracting multiple similar archives with only one top-level element, user usually wants to have them in a destination directory named after archive's name. Currently the first archive is extracted to a directory named after the single top-level element while other archives are extracted to directories named after archive's basename. The `--force-basename` option is forcing the latter behaviour for every archive. For example, let's say we have two archives, with only one top-level directory in them (called `var`): ``` $ ls BundleLogs*zip BundleLogs-1495008842230.zip BundleLogs-1495008843374.zip ``` When trying to unpack them at once: ``` $ unp --output /tmp/logs BundleLogs*zip ``` The default behaviour leaves us with: ``` $ ls /tmp/logs BundleLogs-1495008843374 var ``` Using `--force-basename` option: ``` $ unp --force-basename --output /tmp/logs_basename BundleLogs*zip ``` We get the following result: ``` $ ls /tmp/logs_basename BundleLogs-1495008842230 BundleLogs-1495008843374 ```

When extracting multiple similar archives with only one top-level

Currently the first archive is extracted to a directory named after
the single top-level element while other archives are extracted
to directories named after archive's basename.
The
--force-basenameoption is forcing the latter behaviour for everyarchive.
For example, let's say we have two archives, with only one top-level
directory in them (called
var):When trying to unpack them at once:
The default behaviour leaves us with:
Using
--force-basenameoption:We get the following result:
