Problem: tar --update

Problem: tar --update

[Kamran]

Hi all

"tar --update" with some exclusions worked fine very first time.

But subsequent times it is found that any folder
excluded by using "--exclude-tag-under=FILE" or
"--exclude-ignore-recursive=FILE" is excluded only
first time.

CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 yark 3.4.6-1.x86_64 2023-02-14 13:23 UTC x86_64 Cygwin

tar (GNU tar) 1.34
Packaged by Cygwin (1.34-1)

Sure that it is tar bug. But if not I am open to
suggestions.

None of that tells us directly what you did, what you expected to happen
and what actually happened.  However, on the assumption I correctly
inferred what you were doing and seeing, I can confirm that the same
behaviour is present for the same version of tar under Linux, so you
should report upstream.
