With the directory copy was added to avoid race issues, it wasn't noticed that tar was recursing the directories and copying files too. This is completely crazy when we hardlink those files in the next command.
Resolve the issue by telling tar not to recurse. This gives a significant performance boost to various parts of the system (do_package for linux-yocto 256s -> 178s for example).
