Axel Fontaine commented on COMPRESS-616:
----------------------------------------

Apologies if this is a naive question. Maybe I am just confused, but I can't 
seem to find a way to specify the tar format when writing. I check both TarFile 
and TarArchiveOutputStream and I just don't see it. Any pointers in the right 
direction would be truly appreciated.
