OK, please try the following version:

  ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/alpha/tar/tar-1.16.2-20070123.tar.bz2

It implements the idea described in my previous letter.  The options are
named --exclude-cache, --exclude-cache-under, --exclude-cache-all (and
similarly for --exclude-tag* family).  They are described in the docs,
section `Excluding Some Files'.

Any feedback is welcome.
