It's a pity the salsa Continuous Integration has failed on your fork.

I noticed this message in the extract-source job log:

   gbp:error: upstream/1.22.10+_cs18.39.16 is not a valid treeish

indeed your fork only has 33 tags, whereas js-team/node-yarnpkg has 37.
Please pull those tags and push them to your fork, then force restart the CI pipeline.
This would help us to see if your proposed fix works.

As to upgrading tar-fs, it is possible that some other dependency we updated here and there requires it.
Upstream are currently using 1.16.3:
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/blob/master/yarn.lock#L7137
whereas we were already using version 2

If we want to upgrade tar-fs we need to upgrade its sources and then import them in upstream and master branches:
