Synopsis: tar treats lines in files supplied to -X as globs

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: joerg%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:40:50 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
GNU tar 1.22 at least documents the same behavior as implemented
by pax-as-tar, namely that -X lists a file of exclude patterns.
Therefore I would change this from an implementation bug to
a documentation bug. Opinion?
