given a directory, tmpdir, containing subdirectories
1) "tar --no-recursion -vcf tmp.tar tmpdir" will create a tar file with
only one entry (tmpdir), and subsequent operations will be consistent
with no-recursion.
2) "tar --no-recursion -vcg .snapshot f tmp.tar tmpdir" will not create
the same result. All files and subdirectories within the directory,
tmpdir, will be added to tmp.tar. This seems to contradict the operation
intended.
Is this a known bug that has been, or will shortly be, corrected?
Is this a bug at all, or merely a misunderstanding, on my part, of the
intended operation?
