Hi,
Thanks for this report. Can you supply srcdir contents (e.g. as a tarball)
and a setup file that reproduce this issue (preferably in an otherwise
"clean" home directory), together with an example of a file whose
mtime is altered in a way that is not what you would expect?
Hard-coded directory names are fine, as long as they're something I can
set up in a virtual machine or whatever. Sending a tarball (if not too
large), or a private link to a tarball, by private email is also fine
if there are details in the srcdir or setup file that aren't public;
if you do that, I'll try to distil a minimal anonymized test case
from it.
