Revert addition of "o" to tar options. This was intended to fix bug #4883,
but the cure appears to be worse than the disease. It turns out that GNU tar versions 1.14.x misinterpret -o as --same-owner, not --no-same-owner, leading to exactly the wrong behavior for both root and nonroot users. While that bug has been fixed for nearly five years, these tar versions are still found in the wild, notably in OS X 10.4. Given that #4883 was the first complaint we'd heard, it's definitely not worth fixing at the risk of breaking things for other users. Perhaps revisit at a later date when we're not up against a release deadline.REL8_5_ALPHA1_BRANCH REL8_4_0
