Subject: contrib/diffall: eliminate use of tar
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.10-rc2~11^2~2

contrib/diffall: eliminate use of tar

The 'tar' utility is not available on all platforms (some only support
'gnutar').  An earlier commit created a work-around for this problem,
but a better solution is to eliminate the use of 'tar' completely.
