Not from gtar, but rather OpenBSD's tar: the -s option, which allows you to perform s/// replacements on archive paths. I've encountered a few situations in the past where this would have saved me a bit of work. -s doesn't seem to be in use in FreeBSD's tar, so it should be safe to use it for this option, yes? Should I submit a PR for this?
