Yes, that’s annoying, but that’s expected. Perhaps the ‘unpack’ phase could automatically make the copy that it creates with ‘copy-recursively’ writable? > From the source, 'unpack' is supposed to preserve the timestamp: > > (define* (unpack #:key source #:allow-other-keys) > "Unpack SOURCE in the working directory, and change directory within the > source.

But that’s OK: Git doesn’t specify timestamps anyway. Thanks, Ludo’.
