* New option --one-top-level
* Fix extracting sparse members from star archives.
-* The --one-top-level option.
-
-This new command line option tells tar that the working directory
-(or the one passed to -C) should not be populated with more than one
-name directly under it. Instead, a newly created subdirectory is
-used whose name is equal to the archive name without the extension.
-For example, foo.tar.gz would be extracted to foo.
