Subject: Shouldn't complain about timestamps in the future

Package: tar
Version: 1.13.19-1
Severity: wishlist

I synchronize my computer's clock to an NTP server.  When I create a tar file,
it puts on my local timestamp.  Then I decompress the same tar file on another
machine (using tar xvpf, since I want to preserve the file permissions, which
IMO should be done by default, but that's another matter).  The machine I
extract it on syncs to an NTP server which is a few minutes behind.  So when I
extract the tar file, I get a whole bunch of errors like:

tar: public_html/gallery/audio/fp/fans.html: time stamp 2001-10-02 11:12:33 is 127 s in the future

which is very annoying. :)  It also gets in the way of me seeing any *real*
errors which may have occurred.

Basically, it'd be nice if it didn't complain about future timestamps like
that, or if it only complained once per archive or something.
