This avoids introducing unnecessary changes to the time stamp into
package repositories that regularly use --printsrcinfo to update the
.SRCINFO file.
---
I did not know that despite git-based AUR 4 source packages are still in
active use. There, time stamps make some sense indeed.
The mksrcinfo solution is quite similar to the workaround I implemented
for my package repositories: When only the time stamp changed, keep the
old .SRCINFO without modification.
But omitting the comments in .SRCINFOs not intended for source packages
gets us rid of this consideration altogether and thus seems like the
most KISS solution to me, so I implemented a patch.
