What Maxime means is that some forges (like GitHub) generate these archives on
the fly, instead of the author uploading a 'stable' file. You can usually tell
them apart by the URL, but I forget GitLab's conventions.
These archives might be cached for a while but if they are regenerated the hash
could change even if the unpacked data didn't. This has happened in the past
and breaks e.g. guix time-machine even if 'fixed' on master.
Hence we prefer git-fetch when available, or tarballs that look human-generated.
Kind regards,
