Re: tar 1.13 --exclude strangeness

Hi,

thanks for the pointer to tar 1.13.25. It indeed solved my
reported problem.

I indeed made a mistake in my example; my command line should
be in the form

   tar czf foo/bar.tar.gz --exclude foo/bar.tar.gz foo

instead. Sorry for any confusion from my copying mistake.

I wonder what is stopping 1.13.25 from becoming a public release.

Best regards,
