Similar to what #2727 did for image name and tags, it would be great to be able to have lazy evaluation for creationTime and filesModificationTime, e.g. to set times to the latest commit time provided by gradle-git-properties (see also #2317).

Currently, this is not easily possible, since the value in the plugin config is eagerly bound before the git properties are set. I.e. this does not work:

jib {
    container {
        creationTime = project.provider { project.ext.git['git.commit.time'] }
    }
}
tasks.jib.dependsOn generateGitProperties
tasks.jibBuildTar.dependsOn generateGitProperties
tasks.jibDockerBuild.dependsOn generateGitProperties
