Please modify tar so that tar -V or tar -v or tar --help prints out
tar's version number. Right now, I'm trying to diagnose a bug in the
tar that came with SuSE Linux 9.1 (tar-1.13.25-298). It hangs while
--compare'ing a 5 GB file. I'm really guessing that it is tar V1.13,
because tar won't tell me. I just downloaded tar V1.15.1 and built it
to see if it has the same bug. (V1.15.1 works! This bug is gone.) I
found that this new tar still won't tell me what version it is.
Wouldn't it make your life easier when diagnosing problems if you could
first tell people: "Make sure you're running the latest version of tar,
V1.15.1, by typing tar -V"?
