Would you need to clamp the timestamps, to ensure that that maximum will 
be at most E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME? That way, the older timestamps of the 
files could be preserved.

I was wondering why the environment variable is called 
E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME instead of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is used in util/gen-tarball.in, so it's not unknown 
to the project)

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
