... GNU tar(1) implied the
-p option for root, but BSD tar(1) doesn't do that.
Hmmm... This might actually be considered a bsdtar bug.
I'll look into it.
That behavior of BSD tar(1) surprised me, to be honest.
Now I'm confused. Why were you surprised by this?
According to some notes I have from June 2004, FreeBSD's
version of GNU tar didn't assert -p by default for root.
(That's why bsdtar already implements --no-same-permissions
as an undocumented no-op.)
I believe this was a local variation from the "official"
GNU tar sources, though I don't yet know when that was done.
Time for some CVS archeology, I think.
