tar2sqfs (part of https://github.com/topics/tar2sqfs) rejects tarballs
made with git archive with the message
invalid tar header checksum!
tar2sqfs recomputes the tarball's checksum to verify it. Its checksum
implementation agrees with GNU tar, which contains a comment that states
Fill in the checksum field. It's formatted differently from the
other fields: it has [6] digits, a null, then a space ...
Correcting this allows tar2sqfs to correctly process the tarballs made
by git archive.
