> git has git archive, which does generate a .tar.gz in a reproducible way

'git archive' doesn't seem to work with remote URL, it requires 'git clone'
first. So for uniformity and simplicity it's better to just use the same
command as for svn. Please note that subversion is also supposed to set the
right times, but it has a bug that I reported to them. Better to not subject
ourselves to the random bugs in rarely used commands. I believe,
--config-option config:miscellany:use-commit-times=yes doesn't always work.
