This change was introduced by https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7692:

Previously, the tarballs were created using the `tar` command, while nowadays it's done
using `git archive`,  see util/mktar.sh:

     git archive --worktree-attributes --format=tar --prefix="$NAME/" -v HEAD \
         | gzip -9 > "$TARFILE.gz"


And it's git that adds this comment.
