E.g. I am seeing:
dir <- file.path(tempdir(), "test-tar")
dir.create(dir)
setwd(dir)
dir.create("foo", showWarnings = FALSE)
file.create("foo/bar.R")
tar("test.tar", files = "foo/bar.R")
dir.create("untarred")
untar("test.tar", exdir = "untarred")
list.files("untarred", recursive = TRUE) # character(0)
As far as I can see, the documentation in `?tar` does not reflect that
R's internal `tar` expects paths to directories, not files themselves.
Although I would have preferred the files being included, or at least
a warning / error that they would be excluded.
Thanks,
Kevin
