The more important thing is that we record the current timestamp as
the author date; that timestamp being very close to the committer
date of the resulting commit is a mere consequence of the fact that
we use the current time for committer date and much less important.
That's an important distinction, particularly if GIT_COMMITTER_DATE is
set in the environment - are we aiming to have the author and committer
dates match or are we just resetting the author date to now? Rohit - do
you know which --ignore-date does in the am based rebase?

Again, I think reset-author-date would be a better synonym to this
one.
