rewriting directory owner

[Dan Jacobson]

Hi.  As root first extract. Then notice one doesn't want the original
owner.  So, extract on top of the original, adding --no-same-owner.
Result: directories still retain original owners, though files get new
root ownership.  Also, do it in reverse, wanting the original owners.
Result, keeps root as owner of directories.
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.17

 1014  tar xvzf ~jidanni/sgml-lib.tar.gz 
 1020  tar -xvz --no-same-owner -f ~jidanni/sgml-lib.tar.gz 

Also, in info page

`--no-same-owner'
     When extracting an archive, do not attempt to preserve the owner
     specified in the `tar' archive.  This the default behavior for
     ordinary users; this option has an effect only for the superuser.

OK, but say who the new owner will be [root].
