Currently, creating an archive with: tar -c -f /path/example.tar . (dot being the current directory) will lead to all paths inside the tar file starting with "./". I suggest omitting the "./" from the path and placing all files in the root directory of the TAR archive if no other path than "." was specified.
Not sure I agree. Why should "." be treated differently from any other directory? Currently listing "." means you store and extract permissions; with your proposed change that'd stop happening and that's not backwards compatible.
