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.

greetings,
georg
