      1. Proposed title of this feature request

      Introduce an option in oc-mirror v2 to skip extracting the tar file on every retry

      2. What is the nature and description of the request?

      Add a flag something like "--skip-tar-extract" to skip the extracting during the re-run

      3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

       

      Currently in every retry, the oc-mirror is required to re-extract the tar file and 

      this extraction process can take several hours, creating a significant bottleneck during troubleshooting.
