It appears to be a bug in the info documentation. In looking
at the source, tar 1.15.1 only supports --no-overwrite-dir
and --overwrite.

My info tar mentions --overwrite-dir switch but the tar executable
itself doesn't seem to know anything about it. Is the documentation out
of sync with the executable?
My installed tar package is 1.15.1-2.
