--- Comment #7 from ice@extreme.hu ---
(In reply to J=C3=B6rg Schilling from comment #6)

Just to be pedantic, the command line used is "/usr/local/bin/gnutar
--exclude=3Dprecomplete --exclude=3D.mkdir.done -chf - ." (note *dash* chf)=
, which
GNU tar going back decades as well as libarchive tar accepts just fine.

On a passingly related note, gnutar's man page claims to "emulate the GNU
version of the tar archiver". What GNU tar does or does not do right or wro=
ng
is completely irrelevant. The claim is GNU tar emulation, not "this is the
implementation GNU tar should have been".
