Hi jathan,

The GitHub repositories are read-only mirrors. If you are checking out
the code as a member of the Reproducible Builds team, then it makes more
sense to get it from Alioth, for example:

  $ git clone git.debian.org:/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism

You've linked to *something* here, but I don't follow your chain of
reasoning that leads to you believe tar archives are normalised. Can
you help?
