    9 New command line option `--full-time' instructs tar to output file
    10 time stamps to the full resolution.
     11Tar 1.24 changed the ordering of name matching and name transformation
     12so that the former saw already transformed file names.  This made it
     13impossible to match file names in certain cases.  It is fixed now.
