The TAR variables is set by R process if tar binary is available. I can imagine that in some system TAR will not be discover property but then standard internal will be used.
It's better to use system tar that internal R tar in case where tar files are not compatible with internal R tar (#648).
This pr is changing only untar param to default behavior where tar = Sys.getenv("TAR", "internal").
