Submitted https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/12770.
This has now been merged. It will be in 1.5, so we will probably see it
in RHEL in a decade :P.

Because Meson allows projects to distribute arbitrary files via
meson.add_dist_script(), and can include subprojects via `meson dist
--include-subprojects`, this doesn't seem like an easily solvable
problem.

I think the solution to point 4 is to not unpack/repack if there are no
dist scripts and/or subprojects to distribute. I can take a look at
this later. I think this would also solve points 1, 2, 5, and 6 because
at that point meson is just calling git-archive.
I think implementing a solution to point 4 is a little bit more pressing
given that reproducible tarballs are more important after the xz
debaucle. I will try to give it some effort soon.
