+Subject: [PATCH] t0107: support older and/or non-GNU tar
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The untar tests for various compression algorithms use shortcut options
+from GNU tar to handle decompression. These options may not be provided
+by non-GNU tar nor even by slightly older GNU tar versions which ship on
+many systems.
+
+An example of the latter case is the --zstd option. This was added in
+GNU tar-1.32 (2019-02-23)¹. This version of tar is not provided by
+CentOS/RHEL, in particular. In Debian, --zstd has been backported to
+the tar-1.30 release.
+
+Avoid the requirement on any specific implementations or versions of tar
+by piping decompressed output to tar. This is compatible with older GNU
+tar releases as well as tar implementations from other vendors. (It may
+also be a slight benefit that this more closely matches what the
+snapshot creation code does.)
+
+¹ Technically, the --zstd option was first released in tar-1.31
+ (2019-01-02), but this release was very short-lived and is no longer
+ listed on the GNU Tar release page.
