Discrepancy between Info and manual page (--exclude option) |

Hello. I just want to report a discrepancy between the Info manual
and the manual page related to the tar --exclude option (as well as
the --exclude-from option) on my Mandrake8.1 GNU/Linux distribution.
I apolozige if this message is not appropriate.
The manual page gives
--exclude FILE
exclude file FILE
-X, --exclude-from FILE
exclude files listed in FILE
whereas the Info manual says
`--exclude=PATTERN'
When performing operations, `tar' will skip files that match
PATTERN.
`--exclude-from=FILE'
`-X FILE'
Similar to `--exclude', except `tar' will use the list of patterns
in the file FILE.
# info --version
info (GNU texinfo) 4.0
# man --version
man, version 1.5i1
# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.22
