As it is, it looks like I'm overdue for a tar build. cygwin tar is
still at 1.27.1, while upstream has released 1.28.

Well as I said it's a gzip archive not a tar + gzip you can't extract it
with tar.

I am using Cygwin64. I am getting a file from RedHat in tar + zip format.
Currently I am able to unzip it and untar it in 2 steps as follows:
$gunzip mytar.gz
$tar xvf mytar
However, I would like to do the following:
$tar -zxvf mytar.gz

Yes, I meant this. What does not work ? Do you have a error message ?

Hey there,
It's not working because you're trying to decompress a tar + gzip
archive with tar zxvf but it's just a gzip archive.
If you first make a tar + gzip archive with :
tar xcvf archive.tar.gz your-files
and then :
tar zxvf archive.tar.gz
It will be ok :-)
