Speaking of Apple breaking things, I feel somehow uncomfortable working with tools that do things different to what I expect. I really like Mac OS, but for development purposes I'm very close to switching back to FreeBSD or Debian. It's just easier to maintain. Thanks for the tip!

Still doesn't justify an entirely new, broken version of an ancient tar.

Speaking of useless files that happen to pop up in your file system, perhaps someone will find this snippet useful for removing <code>.DS_Store</code> files recursively: <code>find . -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm '{}' \;</code> I’m happy you found it useful!

I've only been on OS X for a little while and was wondering where the hell all these ._ files were coming from in my tar'd file. THANK YOU!
