When run as root, tar defaults to --same-owner --same-permissions.
This is reported to cause many errors:

tar: .dropbox-dist/VERSION: Cannot change ownership to uid 1000, gid 1000: Operation not permitted
...
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

While this does not actually cause the apply_extra script to fail, it is
ugly!

Fixes #122
