Re: [PATCH v2] packfile: freshen the mtime of packfile by configuration

But if that isn't possible, then I find introducing a new file to
redefine the pack's mtime just to accommodate a backup system that
doesn't know better to be a poor justification for adding this
complexity. Especially since we agree that rsync-ing live Git
repositories is a bad idea in the first place ;).

If it were me, I would probably stop here and avoid pursuing this
further.
