Re: [Bug-tar] tar including files inside cwd when --listed-incremental is used with --files-from=<empty file>

[Michael]

tar doesn't behave the same when --listed-incremental option is *not*
used - it outputs an empty archive instead

also, would you please show me a reference to tar user manual where
this intended behaviour is described.
