How to strip path while archiving with TAR
I have a file that contain list of files I want to archive with tar.
Let's call it `mylist.txt`

It contains:

    /path1/path2/file1.txt
    /path1/path2/file3.txt
    ...
    /path1/path2/file10.txt

What I want to do is to archive this file into a tarball but excluding `/path1/path2/`.
Currently by doing this:

   

    tar -cvf allfiles.tar -T mylist.txt

preserves the path after unarchiving.

I tried this but won't work too:

    tar -cvf -C /path1/path2 allfiles.tar -T mylist.txt

It archives all the files in `/path1/path2` even those which are not in mylist.txt

Is there a way to do it?
