Error "tar: unrecognized option '--include=*.proto'" when running update-api.sh

[Egor Ponomarev]

I have ubuntu and when running update-api.sh I got an error:

tar: unrecognized option '--include=*.proto'
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

I've tried using tar of 1.29 and 1.34 versions, with no success.
Seems that recent gnu tar doesn't support --include

as a workaround I removed the '--include' lines from the tar invocation in the script to avoid the error
