I applied this locally, but what's a test case?
$ mkdir -p boing/subb/ping
$ tar cvf boing.tar boing --exclude sub
boing/
boing/subb/
boing/subb/ping/
$ tar tvf boing.tar
drwxr-xr-x landley/landley 0 2020-06-09 09:50 boing/
drwxr-xr-x landley/landley 0 2020-06-09 09:50 boing/subb/
drwxr-xr-x landley/landley 0 2020-06-09 09:50 boing/subb/ping/
$ tar cvf boing.tar boing --exclude subb
boing/
boing/subb/
boing/subb/ping/
That's the host tar? Exact match on the name of the subdir...
(I really don't use --exclude much. I vaguely recall working out what it meant
when I implemented it, but I appear to be misremembering. I just confirmed file
vs dir doesn't make a difference here...)
