Round-tripping fast-export/import changes commit hashes

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@gmail.com>]

Hi.

I can't get the same commit hashes after fast-export and then fast-import of
this repository without any edits https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes
I have no idea what causes this, and how to prevent it from happening. Are
there any workarounds?

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

  #!/bin/bash

  git clone https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes.git
  git -C protonfixes log --format=oneline | tail -n 4

  git init protoimported
  git -C protonfixes fast-export --all --reencode=no | (cd
protoimported && git fast-import)
  git -C protoimported log --format=oneline | tail -n 4

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

  Expect imported repo to match exported.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

  All hashes are different, the exported repo diverged on the second commit.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
