Mutt/1.5.6+20040523i |
Version: tar (GNU tar) 1.14
The man page says this:
-h, --dereference
don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
When it should actually say something more like this:
-h, --dereference
follow symlinks; archive and dump the files they point to
The current man page had me confusedly searching for another option,
until I just tried to create an archive with "-h" and it followed
symlinks as I wanted.
Thanks for the good work.
