Hi, I've noticed a couple of issues in the "tar" documentation that confused me:
Currently, --xattrs-exclude and --xattrs-include are documented in man/info as being POSIX regular expressions, but the actual implementation uses fnmatch wildcard patterns, which are quite different. The example --xattrs-exclude='^user.' in the documentation doesn't work. Also, the documentation states that by default all extended attribute names are extracted from the archive, but actually if --xattrs-include is not provided tar will only extract extended attributes that start with "user.". -- Angus McInnes
