hi there, tar [...] -X exclude.file worked fine untile some recent update. the problem is, it reads exclude.file, but seems to "ignore" it's contents. i have a backup script that worked for more than two years, but now exclusions do not work any more. currently i have "tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25" from cygwin (my os is win98se) my workaround are a number of --exclude=PATTERN (like --exclude='*.obj') in the command line. this works but it's ugly.
