Currently, each change to NEWS triggers a meson reconfigure that changes SOURCE_EPOCH which causes a full rebuild. Since NEWS changes relatively often, we have a full rebuild each time we pull from master even if we pull semi-regularly. This is further compounded when using branches since NEWS has a relatively high chance to differ between branches which causes git to update the modification time, leading to a full rebuild when switching between branches. We fix this by using the creation time of the latest git tag instead.
