Package: busybox
Version: 1.0-pre5

I checked "Enable -X and --exclude options (exclude files)" from "make
menuconfig".  After building, "busybox tar --help" displays --exclude
option.  But that is not supported in real..

  $ ./busybox tar --help
  BusyBox v1.00-pre5 (2003.12.23-19:52+0000) multi-call binary
 
  Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [--exclude FILE] [-X FILE][-f TARFILE] [-C DIR]
[FILE(s)] ...
  $ ./busybox tar -cv --exclude "Makefile*" -f test.tar applets
  tar: unrecognized option `--exclude'
