Reading the changelog for GNU tar 1.15.91 is even more frightening, it
does not affect only the exclude file, but it does affect the extract
command: tar xf foo.tar *.c now means to extract the file name "*.c",
not all the files ending with .c
How would amrestore react?
For safety, one should not use tar 1.15.91 right now I guess.
