fix description of `-C' option to match behaviour in the sources:
`-C' can be used both when creating and extracting files. Further,
a `-C' inside the argument list causes a `chdir()' to the named
directory before the subsequent filename arguments to be interpreted.
Eg:- "tar -cf a+b.tar -C /a . -C /b ."
