Sorry, I assumed the converse would be obvious. As in:

tla redo; tla rm tmp.tar; mv tmp.tar ,tmp.tar; tar xf tmp.tar

With that last step renaming anything inside tmp.tar to .rej.rej (etc)
if there are conflicts when untarring, so as not to lose _anything_. You
might use a unique id (timestamp) in the filename as an alternative - I
don't know what people would consider sane sorry...

As usual, someone would need to show us the code...
