[OH-Dev] [issue905] Tar ball mission: unsuccesfull when compressing with respect of current folder

[FilesUnknown]

New submission from FilesUnknown <eeknaak at gmail.com>:

if you use the setup "tar zcvf myproject-0.1.tar.gz ./myproject-0.1"
instead of           "tar zcvf myproject-0.1.tar.gz myproject-0.1"
the error "An unexpected entry "./myproject-0.1" is present".
As far as I know myproject-0.1 is the exact same as ./myproject-0.1 
semantically. I would consider this a bug because there is no need to yell at 
the person for being correct in a different way. I accept I maybe wrong that 
this may cause major headaches in certain situations that I don't know.
