Hi,
> $ echo ~/.config/ | tar -cvf /dev/null -T - --no-recursion 2>&1 |head -4
The '--no-recursion' option modifies the behavior of options and
arguments that follow it. The way you use it it has no effect. The
correct way:
$ echo ~/.config/ | tar -cvf /dev/null --no-recursion -T - 2>&1 |head -4
For details, please see the GNU tar manual, subsection 3.4.4
"Position-Sensitive Options".

Sergey
