Rewriting timestamps seems to skip cached layers about buildkit

[AkihiroSuda]

force-compression may work as a workaround? (didn't confirm)

[jan-kiszka]

Probably, though not really applicable in our case. We have two images with a common base which would then be duplicated.

Tentatively for v0.13.1 but needs to be investigated further

[AkihiroSuda]

Needs a minimal reproducer.

I cannot repro the issue with the following script:

#!/bin/bash
set -eux

build() {
        epoch="$1"
        dest="$2"
        rm -rf "$dest"
        buildctl build \
                --frontend dockerfile.v0 \
                --local dockerfile=. --local context=. \
                --opt build-arg:SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$epoch" \
                --opt platform=linux/amd64 \
                --output type=oci,dest="$dest",tar=false,rewrite-timestamp=true
}
