'tar -h' is supposed to dereference symbolic links and store the actual
files instead.
it dereferences just once instead of all:
if `foo' links to `bar' which links to `zot', `tar -cfh z foo' will
store `bar' instead of `zot' in `z'.
is this a known byg?

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there isn't any.
