2001-10-25Make -h and -L follow symlinks on extraction of directories.Niklas Hallqvist
This means that existing symbolic links won't get overwritten with a directory, but instead the directory is created/updated with the privs from the archive at the end of the symlink chain. Great for unpacking OpenBSD release tarballs, where you have linked away stuff due to lack of space on a certain partition etc.

2001-02-10Replace -T flag with more standard -I flag and make it work as a standardTodd C. Miller
argument (and thus work as in the 'packed' option form) as well as a positional argument. Our -T flag was basically equivalent to -I but different from gnutar's -T so -T gets thrown out.

1998-03-31only preserve uid/gid if -p. This is unlike traditional tar but more like gtarTodd C. Miller
1998-03-03Correct -x and -p flags to be more like traditional tar and makeTodd C. Miller
the man page reflect reality. The -p flag only preserves the file mode (irrespective of umask) if possible. The -x flag tries to set user/group, mtime, and mode.

but complain about non-portability if > 32256 bytes. Brought up by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>
1997-04-05Strip leading '/' of pathnames (only in tar mode). -S option turnsTodd C. Miller
this off like GNU tar.
1997-04-04Improvements based on commets by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>Todd C. Miller
- ``tar cf'' will now just exit instead of waiting for a file list on stdin. The old behavior should be re-enabled with an option. - Better wording in tar man page for -o and -w
