I've been trying to make a tarball of my home directory, but I want to exclude ~/.cache. First I tried '--exclude="~/.cache", but it didn't work. Neither did '--exclude="~/.cache/*".
I got it working by creating an empty file in ~/.cache and using the filename as an argument to "--exclude-tag-under", but what was I doing wrong when trying to use "--exclude"? Petter, curious -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
