Straight from the documentation:

---
Examples
  <tar tarfile="${dist}/manual.tar" basedir="htdocs/manual" />
  <gzip zipfile="${dist}/manual.tar.gz" src="${dist}/manual.tar" />
tars all files in the htdocs/manual directory in a file called manual.tar
in the ${dist} directory, then applies the gzip task to compress it.

  <tar tarfile="${dist}/manual.tar"
       basedir="htdocs/manual"
       excludes="mydocs/**, **/todo.html"
  />
tars all files in the htdocs/manual directory in a file called manual.tar
in the ${dist} directory. Files in the directory mydocs, or files with the
name todo.html are excluded.

Cheers,

Pete
