Re: [PATCH] tar: on extract, -o is --no-same-owner

I don't quite understand why 'o' has to be spelled using long name
--no-same-owner, instead of just correcting the ordering of "old style"
short options to have 'f' last, i.e.

  $(TAR) xof -

and not (current)

  $(TAR) xfo -

Both do exactly the same, traditionally.  Note the lack of '-' preceding
'xfo', which does not use getopt-style option parsing.
