Hi there, i ran into this problem today. I modified my repo by filter-branch to set the committer-date to the author-date, and then ran git gc. Now pristine-tar cannot export the tar.gz anymore:
(master)$ pristine-tar -vd checkout typo3-src_4.5.11+dfsg1.orig.tar.gz pristine-tar: git archive --format=tar af10f93e31e2a6a809fdf24e34f6c6bf3a71606f | (cd '/tmp/pristine-tar.aLUBc5aaTJ' && tar x) fatal: not a tree object tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors pristine-tar: command failed: git archive --format=tar af10f93e31e2a6a809fdf24e34f6c6bf3a71606f | (cd '/tmp/pristine-tar.aLUBc5aaTJ' && tar x) -- MfG, Christian Welzel GPG-Key: pub 4096R/5117E119 2011-09-19 Fingerprint: 3688 337C 0D3E 3725 94EC E401 8D52 CDE9 5117 E119 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
