<p>The <i>basedir</i> attribute is the reference directory from where to tar.</p>
<p>This task is a <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based task</a>

archive. The tar task supports all the attributes of Fileset to refine the
set of files to be included in the implicit fileset.</p>
