You should not use tar as it is bad about special files. There is a specific
mode of cpio designed to do this right. It would be my choice. The syntax
(also in the cpio info docs) is:
mkdir /slave
cd /master
find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null -pvd /slave
All files will be made proper in dest. tar does not make all types of files.
To make it less wordy, I replace the -v option to cpio with -V
The -print0 and -null options work together to allow file names that even
contain newline or other unexpected characters.
