 *g:tar_writeoptions*	  "uf"    used to update/replace a file


==============================================================================
4. History						*tar-history*

	v31	Apr 02, 2017	* (klartext) reported that browsing encrypted
				  files in a zip archive created unencrypted
				  swap files.  I am applying a similar fix
				  used on zip.vim to tar.vim: new buffers
				  are opened with |:noswapfile|.
		May 16, 2017	* When the mouse option isn't empty, the
				  leftmouse can be used to select a file
				  in the tar-file listing.
	v30	Apr 22, 2014	* .tgz files are ambiguous: they may have been
				  compressed with either gzip or bzip2.  Tar.vim
				  disambiguates by using unix's "file" command.
		Feb 18, 2016	* Changed =~ to =~# where appropriate
		Feb 18, 2017	* Now also permits xz decompression
	v28	Jun 23, 2011	* a few more decompression options (tbz tb2 txz)
	v27	May 31, 2011	* moved cygwin detection before g:tar_copycmd
				  handling
				* inserted additional |:keepj| modifiers
				* changed silent  to  sil!  (|:silent|)
	v26	Aug 09, 2010	* uses buffer-local instead of window variables
				  to hold tarfile name
				* inserted keepj before 0d to protect jump list
	v25	Jun 19, 2010	* (Jan Steffens) added support for xz
				  compression
	v24	Apr 07, 2009	* :Untarvim command implemented
		Sep 28, 2009	* Added lzma support
	v22	Aug 08, 2008	* security fixes
	v16	Jun 06, 2008	* tarfile:: used instead of tarfile: when
				  editing files inside tarballs.  Fixes a
				  problem with tarballs called things like
				  c:\abc.tar. (tnx to Bill McCarthy)
	v14	May 09, 2008	* arno caught a security bug
		May 28, 2008	* various security improvements.  Now requires
				  patch 299 which provides the fnameescape()
				  function
		May 30, 2008	* allows one to view `*.gz` and `*.bz2` files that
				  are in `*.tar` files.
	v12	Sep 07, 2007	* &shq now used if not the empty string for
				  g:tar_shq
	v10	May 02, 2006	* now using "redraw then echo" to show messages,
				  instead of "echo and prompt user"
	v9	May 02, 2006	* improved detection of masquerading as tar file
	v8	May 02, 2006	* allows editing of files that merely masquerade
				  as tar files
	v7	Mar 22, 2006	* work on making tar plugin work across network
		Mar 27, 2006	* g:tar_cmd now available for users to change
				  the name of the tar program to be used.  By
				  default, of course, it's "tar".
	v6	Dec 21, 2005	* writing to files not in directories caused
				  problems - fixed (pointed out by
				  Christian Robinson)
	v5	Nov 22, 2005	* report option workaround installed
	v3	Sep 16, 2005	* handles writing files in an archive back to
				  the archive
		Oct 18, 2005	* <amatch> used instead of <afile> in autocmds
		Oct 18, 2005	* handles writing to compressed archives
		Nov 03, 2005	* handles writing tarfiles across a network
				  using netrw#NetWrite()
	v2			* converted to use Vim7's new autoload feature
				  by Bram Moolenaar
	v1	(original)	* Michael Toren
				  (see http://michael.toren.net/code/
				   link seems dead)
