gtar hcvzf release/verilog.tgz -T release/vfiles.txt -T release/ifiles1.txt
Only the last -T option is recognized. But the manual explicitly states: "Any number of '-T' options can be given in the command line. " This is release tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1 but I searched the Releases page for -T and for --files-from and there was no match meaning this has not changed since then.
