Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tar

The --exclude-vcs flag (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/exclude.html#SEC103)
tells tar to ignore files from certain version control systems,
including CVS, Subversion, and git. It would be very helpful if
Mercurial files were also excluded when using that flag.

For that matter, Bazaar files should be handled as well, especially
considering Bazaar is an official GNU project. I would also recommend
excluding Darcs files.

** Affects: tar (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
