This issue also affects being able to use git-buildpackage to generate pristine-tar tarballs for tarballs that were already committed before
the recent changes to pristine-tar. For instance I experienced it
today with `gbp buildpackage` with gtk4 but the original tarball was
committed in January.
Ideally, we would not need to attempt to reconstruct old pristine-tar
git branches since that sounds like a very large amount of work and
it's disruptive to everyone who has local copies of the git repos.
