Subject: bug#13773: Can't save archive member because of make-directory

Package: Emacs
Version: 24.3.50

The new "offer to make-directory upon save" is nice, but it breaks the
buffer-save mechanism of zip archive members:

   emacs -Q foo.zip
   Open one of the zip file's members
   Make some change in it
   C-x C-s

This prompts you to create a directory which really already exists
(inside the archive).  It probably affects other packages than arc-mode,
which similarly play with the buffer-save mechanism.
