attention tar maintainer


Would it be possible to update the version of tar currently in cygwin?
The current version is 1.26, which, in the GNU project anyway, was 
released in March 2011.  I need a version with a bug fix done in Nov 
2011, so 1.27 or the latest (1.27-1) should do.

The bug fix fixes (among other things) the use of the -diff option with 
an archive created with -g (listed-incremental).  A related post from 
Sergey Poznyakoff, one of the GNU tar maintainers, will found here:
