Normally, tar sets the modification times of extracted files to
the modification times recorded for the files in the archive, but
limits the permissions of extracted files by the current umask
setting.
To set the modification times of extracted files to the time when
the files were extracted, use the --touch (-m) option in
conjunction with --extract (--get, -x).
--touch
-m
Sets the modification time of extracted archive members to the time
they were extracted, not the time recorded for them in the archive.
Use in conjunction with --extract (--get, -x).
