Although this may be "to be expected," it is requested that this flag be implemented to help solve a production issue that was discovered shortly after an upgrade from FreeBSD4 (where GNU tar is still used) to FreeBSD8 (where bsdtar has replaced GNU tar). >How-To-Repeat: On 4.11 $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
