If only it did update ctime but I tried it with vfat and ext2 and it doesn't. As kernel does not update ctime or mtime, when a directory is moved, it is a kernel problem not a tar problem.
VFAT Filestore example: df -k . Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda15 7972 4536 3436 57% /DRVL mount . -fv /dev/hda15 on /DRVL type vfat (rw) stat dir1 File: "dir1" Size: 4096 Filetype: Directory Mode: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Device: 3,15 Inode: 410 Links: 2 Access: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54) Modify: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54) Change: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54) mv dir1 dir2 stat dir2 File: "dir2" Size: 4096 Filetype: Directory Mode: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Device: 3,15 Inode: 411 Links: 2 Access: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54) Modify: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54) Change: Wed Jan 12 17:32:48 2000(00011.17:20:54)
EXT2 Filestore example:
