Hello!

I think I found a part of the documentation that hasn't been correctly updated
to reflect the  relatively recent `--recursion`/`--no-recursion` change.

>From <https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/recurse.html>:

>  The `--no-recursion' and `--recursion' options apply to later options and
>  operands, and can be overridden by later occurrences of `--no-recursion'
>  and `--recursion'.

This is good. But above it the following example is shown:
        
>     $ find dir tests | \
>       tar -cf archive -T - --no-recursion

Note how `--no-recursion` is after `-T -` instead in front of it, this means
it has no effect.

Thanks!  
Patrick
