f758d316c0 Document the -W convention for accessing long options.
Also correct an old error: there was no tar command in Sixth Edition.

0674dded37 Rename C=dir to -C dir, which is what people expect.
This requires some non-trivial surgery to the options parsing.

While here, let people who only have getopt() access long options
through the -W longopt=value convention.

c066ba2f01 Oops: gtar's --dereference should be a synonym for bsdtar's -L, not -H.
Pointed out by: devel/nspr port
Thanks to: Kris Kennaway

a55bfb25e7 The --include='pattern' option is the natural counterpart to
--exclude='pattern'.

I should have added this a long time ago, since it's so useful for testing.
In particular, it allows me to select a few entries from a troublesome
archive so that I can easily focus my debugging efforts:
   bsdtar -czf new.tgz --include='*foo*' @old.tgz

e5572b4b7c Correction: -h should be a synonym for -L, not -H.
(as specified by Linux Standards Base, GNU tar, and 4.4BSD documentation)

6c6b3d9aa5 -U is now implemented. (It's been recognized by bsdtar for a while;
now libarchive actually supports the underlying request.)

0c27da5f82 Remove information about specific formats; replace with a

de60e4436b Manpage changes suggested by Irina Liakh.
Also, add -h as a synonym for -H, for Linux Standards Base compliance.

f6f4796250 Allow arguments to appear in any order.
While I'm here, add a couple of extra sanity-checks to
the argument parsing (reject -j -z, for instance) and
update the docs a bit.

Requested by: most everyone ;-)
