Use the GZIP environment variable, e.g.:

  GZIP=-n tar cfz file.tar.gz .

Why?  Why not just use 'tar cf ... | gzip -cn ...'?  Remember, 'tar czf'
is only a shortcut for a commonly used setup, but if you need something
that isn't as common, then use longhand instead of the shortcut.

Hi,

I don't see how to supply the -n option to gzip when calling tar with
'czf'. Does anybody know if there is a way to do so?
