Hello, if I invoke tar --exclude-vcs-ignores on a subdirectory of a Git repository, the files that should be ignored per .gitignore file placed in a top-level repo directory, are not ignored.
It would be nice if tar could operate the same way git archive operates in this respect. Can I at least make tar (by passing some additional arguments) take the parent .gitignores into consideration? Is there a summary, how tar's support for .gitignore files differs from git's native implementation? I've also encountered this: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54408 Thank you clime
