Unfortunately, the wording you propose doesn't make it any clearer.
Compare with the description of -C option in "info tar":
`--directory=DIR'
`-C DIR'
When this option is specified, `tar' will change its current
directory to DIR before performing any operations. When this
option is used during archive creation, it is order sensitive.
