Hi, The --exclude option seems to have broken in 9.0-RC2.
I see this behaviour on 9.0-RC2: $ mkdir dir1 dir2 $ touch dir1/a $ touch dir2/dir1 $ bsdtar -c -f - --exclude './dir1/*' . | bsdtar tf - ./ ./dir2/ And on 8.2-RELEASE (as expected): $ mkdir dir1 dir2 $ touch dir1/a $ touch dir2/dir1 $ bsdtar -c -f - --exclude './dir1/*' . | bsdtar tf - ./ ./dir2/ ./dir1/ ./dir2/dir1 There are two issues here: Excluding './dirname/*' excludes the directory 'dirname', not just the contents of the directory. Excluding './dirname/*' excludes every file called 'dirname', regardless of where the name is in the hierarchy. I'm assuming this is a bug, and not some intended change in behaviour.
