I expect to close this bug with no action taken the next time I upload a tar
snapshot. The next upstream release will include warnings more like:
tar: foobar: time stamp 2001-08-29 05:55:08 is 51775487 seconds in the future
Anyone forking tar from something else, who thinks these warnings really
shouldn't be exposed to users, should probably process stderr... Of course,
fixing whatever is creating future timestamps is the real right answer!
