Okay, so does anybody know what the deal with this is?
tar -cvf /dev/null -N "Feb 5, 2001" .
This should only list files newer than 5 Feb 2001. Unfortunatly, this
parses wrong and pretty much lists all of them. Apparently, it works for
1999 and lower dates. I have found some issues with 1.11 and I thought it
was fixed then. However, it still operates wrong as of 1.13 downloaded
straight from gnu.org. The above filespec stores files from 1999, and a
filespec with a year of 2002, though, it only stores the current
directory...
Anyone else know anything about this?
