Package: pristine-tar
Version: 1.45
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When updating the "qtox" package, the following warning was shown:

warning: pristine-gz cannot reproduce build of ../v1.16.3.tar.gz;
storing 98% size diff in delta (4126416 bytes)

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/qTox/qTox.git
wget https://github.com/qTox/qTox/releases/download/v1.16.3/v1.16.3.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/qTox/qTox/releases/download/v1.16.3/v1.16.3.tar.gz.asc
cd qTox
pristine-tar commit -s ../v1.16.3.tar.gz.asc  ../v1.16.3.tar.gz v1.16.3

Looks like it's how they create the tarball, at
https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/tools/create-tarballs.sh#L37
:

git archive --format=tar xxxxxx.tar | gzip --best > "$@"
