> I spent many hours trying to figure out how to bypass those issues, and I can't remember if I ever succeeded. Might I suggest “got-restore-mtime” for this, upstream in Debian and Ubuntu already. Did you really spend hours on this?

This? https://manpages.org/git-restore-mtime https://manpages.org/git-restore-mtime

  Sure. Are you trying to imply the existence of a manpage means something ubiquitous?

    I was wondering if “got-restore-mtime" was a typo or a cleverly named similar project to “git-restore-mtime".

Well I wanted to create an easy and familiar process for people installing from source, so I wanted it to be roughly git pull && ./configure && make && sudo make install. So I didn't consider restoring mtimes into that flow, just looked for options for autoconf to not regen. Also I think it took quite a while to even realize the mtimes were the issue from an error messages, as I was not very knowledgeable about autoconf / automake.
