Running shutil.make_archive('a', 'tar', 'subdir') is created wrong and not really needed entry "./" which is visible in tarfile.Tarfile.list():

['./', 'foo/', 'hello.txt', 'foo/bar.txt']

I have tested and found this issue in the following versions of python:
2.7.15rc1  FOUND
3.6.7      FOUND
3.7.1      FOUND


I've attached a simple script which illustrates problem. Tested on Ubuntu Linux with mentioned python versions.

Similar issue has been fixed for 'zip' (https://bugs.python.org/issue28488) but exists for 'tar' archives.

I submitted a pull request that excludes '.' directory entries when adding directories to a tar archive.
