You may apply transformation rules to hardlink targets, by specifying
the `h' flag:

  tar cvzf "$TARFILE" --transform "s,${basedir#/}/,,h" $basedir

This requires tar 1.21 or later.  See

  http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/Choosing.html#IDX380

for more info on additional regexp control flags, provided by tar.
