Since mtimes don't make sense in ostree repos and a checkout will cause a zeroed mtime we should do the same in the tarball headers.

We seem to do this today, and AFAICS we've been doing it since the export builtin was introduced - see archive_entry_set_mtime (entry, ts, 0);.

Where were you seeing this?

I have not looked deeper into this, but in this mail:

I export two branches and compare them, and the mtimes differ. Unclear why though.
