I am having trouble with the --exclude-from option in version 1.13.  It
appears --exclude-from does not work.  Below is the command line I am using
and multiple --exclude-from file(s).

tar -c  -f x9.tar -v  --exclude-from=xx.txt   *.*

Below are multiple --exclude-from files that I have tried to use,  "file
xx.txt" is not in the file and I will show after the last line of the file
"EOF".

I have attempted to use each of the file formats and no errors are being
reported.

file xx.txt
*.cache
EOF

file xx.txt
'*.cache'
EOF

file xx.txt
--exclude=*.cache
EOF

file xx.txt
--exclude='*.cache'
EOF
