You can mark the commit as "edit", use "git commit --amend" when
"rebase -i" stops and gives control back to you, and say "rebase
--continue".  That way, you can use your favourite trick to lie
about committer date (or identity or other aspects) when running
"git commit --amend" and its effect will be left in the resulting
history, I would think.
