Seems strange to not mention using -- at the end of the tar command:

tar cf archive.tar -- *

Command line argument parsing is terminated forcefully and all
subsequent arguments are assumed to be files.  No "workaround" needed
(using ./* does weird things to the stored directory tree by appending
./ to everything -- that could potentially be bad during a restore)
