svn commit: r203558 - head/usr.bin/tar

New Revision: 203558

Log:
  Allow -b up to 8192.  I've had reports from people who routinely
  use -b 2048 (1MiB block size).  Setting the limit to 8192 should
  allow some room for growth while still helping people who mistakenly
  put in byte counts here instead of block counts.

Modified:
  head/usr.bin/tar/bsdtar.c
