OK, then the only filesystem independent program I know that would be able to 
do what you like is star.

-       The solution from David Korn site does differential backups and thus
        is unable to easily restore single files.

-       GNU tar fails with incremental restores if there was some specific 
        kind of directory rename between two incrementals.

-       Other programs do not support incrementals.
