[Bug-tar] Option parsing errors -- version 1.15.1

[Alex V Flinsch]

It seems that something got broken betwixt 1.14 and 1.15.1
Previously
address@hidden testdata]$ /home/alex/src/tar-1.14/src/tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.14

address@hidden testdata]$ /home/alex/src/tar-1.14/src/tar cf xxx.tar TEXT/ --remove-files
address@hidden testdata]$
Now
address@hidden testdata]$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
address@hidden testdata]$ tar cf xxx.tar TEXT/ --remove-files
tar: --remove-files: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
address@hidden testdata]$ tar cf zzz.tar --remove-files TEXT/
Oddly enough
address@hidden testdata]$ tar cf zzz.tar --remove-files TEXT/
address@hidden testdata]$
Works
