Thanks for the additional investigation!

This is getting really horrible.

On my side, I have updated to Fedora 29, which ships tar 1.30, that we
consider as broken, and therefore now for everything single small build
that I do, I'm paying the price of building tar, which is super
annoying. This is especially annoying as tar 1.30 is only problematic
when *creating* tarballs of git-fetched packages, which clearly does
not happen at every build.

It would be truly horrible to also have to build our own gzip. Maybe we
need to somehow revisit our requirement that we need to have
reproducible tarballs for git-fetched packages ?

Best regards,

Thomas
