tar 1.29 regression, duplicating files with -T and --no-recursion


Test case:


Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.29

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ mkdir tartest

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ echo 'tartest' > tartest/filelist.txt

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ echo 'tartest/filelist.txt' >> tartest/filelist.txt

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ tar -czf test.tar.gz -T tartest/filelist.txt --no-recursion

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ tar -tf test.tar.gz
tartest/
tartest/filelist.txt
tartest/filelist.txt

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ ls -al test.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 Tony None 186 Mar  7 15:39 test.tar.gz



If I downgrade to tar 1.28, I instead get

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ tar -tf test.tar.gz
tartest/
tartest/filelist.txt

Tony@LAPTOP-O230JCFF ~
$ ls -al test.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 Tony None 177 Mar  7 15:38 test.tar.gz



... though I just checked in a docker container of Debian unstable which
has tar 1.29 and I see the same issue, so this isn't cygwin-specific
and maybe I should report it upstream.
