Somewhere in the changes from 1.23 to 1.24, the combination of
--one-filesystem with --listed-incremental was broken, and remained so in 1.25.
Example:
tar-1.23 --create --one-file-system --listed-incremental /tmp/xxx.list -f
/tmp/xxx.tar --verbose /home
<prints lots of messages about backing up the contents of /home>
rm -f /tmp/xxx.{tar,list}
tar-1.24 <same args>
tar-1.24: /home: Directory is new
tar-1.24: Removing leading `/' from member names
/home/
<end>
No matter what path I pass it, it only includes that exact directory, no
subdirectories or files whatsoever. Removing either the --one-file-system
or --listed-incremental argument restores it to proper behavior.
