[PATCH] Use gzip -f when building the git-core tarball

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:02
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

This allows rebuilding the tarball when it is already present
without having to answer annoying questions from gzip
