*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

using netrw#NetWrite()
