example:
---------------
mkdir dirA
echo 'a' > dirA/a
echo 'a' > dirA/b
tar -vcf test.0.tar -incremental --newer '2150-02-08 21:50:00' dirA
tar: dirA: Directory is new
dirA/
dirA/a
dirA/b
---------------
It should not archive dirA/a and dirA/b
In src/create.c:
--------------------
This check is omitted if incremental_option is set *and* the
requested file is not explicitly listed in the command line. */
if (! (incremental_option && ! top_level)
--------------------
I do not understand why this check is done, maybe you want it for
--listed-incremental but it looks buggy for --incremental where we want to
compare the mtime for all files
The attached patch fix it and pass all 'make check'.
