[BusyBox] Is this a uclibc problem or a busybox problem?

busybox tar seems not to support '--exclude='

<quote>
# ifdef CONFIG_FEATURE_TAR_FROM
        { "files-from",         1,      NULL,   'T' },
        { "exclude-from",       1,      NULL,   'X' },

so you might try

echo -n '.svn
CVS
' > .tmp.exclude
[ ""/usr/include/linux"" == "/usr/" ] && \
	echo -n 'include/linux
include/asm*' >> .tmp.exclude

tar -chf - include -X .tmp.exclude -X .cvsignore | tar -xf - -C /usr/


or the like.
