Summary0015996: Unable to zip files with CMake command-line tool `tar` without path prefix in zip file
DescriptionHi,

the current implementation does not allow to package the whole content of a directory without listing every entry in the directory.

I would expect that executing a command line like `cmake -E tar cvf ../result.zip --format=zip .` would zip the whole content of the current working directory. While CMake packages all the files it prepends every entry with './', which I don't expect compared to the `zip` tool provided with most linux distributions.

The alternative command line `cmake -E tar cvf ../result.zip $PWD` only creates an empty zip file.
Steps To Reproduce#!/usr/bin/sh
# cmake --version
# cmake version 3.4.1

mkdir zip_root
touch zip_root/file1
touch zip_root/file2
# The whole content of 'zip_root' should be zipped, so change working directory
cd zip_root

cmake -E tar cvf ../cmake-abs.zip --format=zip $PWD
# <no output>: $? = 0

cmake -E tar cvf ../cmake-rel.zip --format=zip .
# .
# ./file1
# ./file2
# $? = 0

zip ../zip-abs.zip $PWD
# adding: $PWD/ (stored 0%)
# $? = 0

zip ../zip-rel.zip .
# zip error: Nothing to do! (../zip-rel.zip)
# $? = 12

zip -r ../zip-abs-rec.zip $PWD
# adding: $PWD/ (stored 0%)
# adding: $PWD/file1 (stored 0%)
# adding: $PWD/file2 (stored 0%)
# $? = 0

zip -r ../zip-rel-rec.zip .
# adding: file1 (stored 0%)
# adding: file2 (stored 0%)
# $? = 0

unzip -t ../cmake-abs.zip
# Archive: ../cmake-abs.zip
# warning [../cmake-abs.zip]: zipfile is empty


unzip -t ../cmake-rel.zip
# Archive: ../cmake-rel.zip
# testing: ./ OK
