Description of problem:
tar produces verbose output, even when -v is not specified.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 4 fastrack channel tar, version tar-1.14-10.RHEL4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install tar
2. Run a tar backup command like -> tar --newer=./backup.timestamp  -czf
./foo.tar.gz . 
3. Note that unchanged files are also listed in the output, with "file is
unchanged; not dumped"
4. This extra output was not in previous versions of tar before this one.


  
Actual results:
All files are listed in tar output, even unchanged files. 

Expected results:
Only changed files should produce output unless -v is specified.

Additional info:

Email communication with Sergey Poznyakoff (tar developer) confirms that this 
'feature' of tar was added, then reverted because of its annoyance. It should
now only be available with -v or --verbose.

Recent versions print this message only if given the  -v (--verbose)
option.

This added output was not in previous versions of tar released in RHEL, nor is
it produced by current vanilla tar source (version 1.15.90). This addded output
is far from desirable and increases the size of backup logs from 3-4K daily to
375K daily.
