+version 1.19 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2007-10-10
+
+* New option --exclude-vcs
+
+Excludes directories and files, created by several widely used version
+control systems, e.g. "CVS/", ".svn/", etc.
+
+* --exclude-tag and --exclude-cache options
+
+The following options now work with incremental archives as well:
+
+  --exclude-caches       
+  --exclude-caches-all   
+  --exclude-tag
+  --exclude-tag-all
+  --exclude-tag-under
+
+* Fix handling of renamed files in listed incremental archives.
+
+Previous versions always stored absolute file names in rename
+records, even if -P was not used. This is fixed: rename records
+contain file names processed in accordance with the command line
+settings.
+  
+* Fix --version output.
+
+* Recognition of broken archives.
+
+When supplied an archive smaller than 512 bytes in reading mode (-x,
+-t), the previous version of tar silently ignored it, exiting with
+code 0. It is fixed. Tar now issues the following diagnostic message:
+'This does not look like a tar archive', and exits with code 2.
+
+* Fix double-dot recognition in archive member names in case of duplicate '/.'.
+
+* Fix file padding in case of truncation of the input file to zero size.
