Hah! I use "git log -1 --format='tformat:%ct'" for this situation in
the tzcode distribution. Great minds think (nearly) alike.
I guess I'm not still seeing why it's a win to add an option to tar,
since we seem to have a solution that doesn't involve messing with tar.
Backdating the compile output with touch may have a negative impact on
doing a make (not a full rebuild) while trying to fix a bug in the
package. --clamp-mtime restricts the time stamp manipulation to the
contents of the .deb / .udeb / .tar.xz files .
Enjoy
