I imagine that you would be sending the date information just the same way you send the author information, so if your addition messes up the dates for "commit -C", wouldn't your original patch mess up the authorship information the same way? In any case, this new feature won't be in 'master' nor 'next' while we are in pre-release freeze, so no need to rush.
