Comment (by fbissey):
`-J` is the right option for `.xz` I am not sure what is happening
internally but `-a` smartly identify the compression and applies the right
filter if available. The big problem is that you need a GNU tar recent
enough to support xz and that xz is present. I am not sure that BSD tar
shipped with OS X supports it at all, or even if xz/lzma is present. I can
check though.
