I was investigating some error messages that I was getting in a script that invoked GNU tar 1.16 with the --listed-incremental, and I noticed that the incremental snapshot files with that version have a different format from earlier versions of tar.
I found in the online "info" document for tar 1.18 that there is a description of the snapshot file formats "0" and "1", but the section has not been updated to include version "2": http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Snapshot-Files.html#Snapshot-Files So, I'm sending this message to file a "bug report" requesting that information on version 2 be added to this section of the manual. Thanks.
