Package: tar Version: 1.19-1 Severity: minor tar's --mtime option is only documented via the --help and info. There's no mention of how to use it in the manpage. This is especially relevant because the --mtime option expects a "DATE-OR-FILE" argument. Since that argument format isn't documented the user has no way to know that using a file as an argument requires a leading '/' or '.' without installing tar-doc from non-free or searching the web for the manual.
