Hello!
I think I found a part of the documentation that hasn't been correctly updated
to reflect the relatively recent `--recursion`/`--no-recursion` change.
>From <https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/recurse.html>:
> The `--no-recursion' and `--recursion' options apply to later options and
> operands, and can be overridden by later occurrences of `--no-recursion'
> and `--recursion'.
This is good. But above it the following example is shown:
> $ find dir tests | \
> tar -cf archive -T - --no-recursion
Note how `--no-recursion` is after `-T -` instead in front of it, this means
it has no effect.
Thanks!
Patrick
