No. Also, I added other patches to address the needs of Galeb's package
manager, mkpk. They might, or might not be interesting for inclusion in
mainline sbase; I'll leave the decision up to you. Here's an annotated
list of all my patches:

(1) 0001-Add-T-filelist.patch
(2) 0001-Add-both-T-filelist-and-n-equivalent-of-no-recursion.patch
(3) 0001-Add-n-equivalent-of-no-recursion.patch
(4) 0001-Split-path-into-prefix-name-on-c.patch

(1) Adds the option `-T filelist`, which enables tar to receive the
    list of newline-separated files from a file instead of argv.
    filelist can be `-`, in which case stdin is used. Cons: filenames
    containing newlines cannot be passed in this way.

(2) Combines (1) and (3).

(3) Adds the option `-n`, which behaves like GNU tar's
    `--no-recursion`. This option instructs tar not to recurse into
    subdirectories, as opposed to the default behavior.

(4) Splits pathname into prefix and name fields on `-c`, as opposed to
    the current default, which is to use only name field. No further
    checks are implemented.

Note: when I created the above patches, I used my old email address,
contact_AT_. I have since migrated to my current email, sr@.
