Just note that this is not portable....
from "man tar":
-I include-file
Opens include-file containing a list of files, one per
line, and treats it as if each file appeared separately
on the command line. Be careful of trailing white
spaces. Also beware of leading white spaces, since, for
each line in the included file, the entire line (apart
from the newline) is used to match against the initial
string of files to include. In the case where excluded
files (see X function modifier) are also specified, they
take precedence over all included files. If a file is
specified in both the exclude-file and the include-file
(or on the command line), it is excluded.
This exist since aprox. 35 years.
