>Description:
In FreeBSD-8.1 (or higher; possibly other/older releases) tar(1) is bsdtar and it does not support all of the options that GNU tar does. 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
