    Not strictly true, and probably depends on your version of tar to some
    extent.. however :

    slick: {6} tar --norecurse -cvf foo.tar foo
    foo/
    slick: {7} ls foo
    LICENSE.txt README.txt WebServer setup setup.inf

    Only added the directory, not the contents or subdirectories.

    Cheers,

    Al
