As mentioned, github uses "git archive" to generate the tarballs. |
11 |
So - theoretically - if a new version of git should have "git archive" |
12 |
implemented differently (which might happen indirectly by new versions |
13 |
of tar/zlib), there might indeed be change. |
14 |
|
15 |
However, this is purely theoretical: I just upgrade to most current |
16 |
git-2.16.2 and tar-1.30, and checked: The generated tarballs still match |
17 |
with that from 2014. So I really do not know which change |
18 |
"a few months ago" the above message refers to: I could not detect any |
19 |
change (and I really checked a lot of packages now). |

Perhaps they refer to .zip instead of .tar.gz which as mentioned is |
22 |
a less stable format due to the inclusion of the timezone. |
