[Bug-tar] Bug#440170: tar: add new option --include (to complement --exclude) |

Package: tar
Version: 1.18-1
Severity: wishlist
Tar is user many times from scripts. Sometimes the scripts can let
user configure the options by importing the options from separate
file. An exmaple from bash:
tar $(< $option_file) $DIRECTORY *.c
Tar contains option
--exclude
Which could be put int $option_file, but the complimentary way to
add *more* files is currently possible to spcify only at the end of
$DIRECTORY.
SUGGESTION
New option
--include=<GLOB>
Would behave like the GLOB were attached to the end of command (filespec)
