> I'd like to insert a commit between two commits without changing the committer date or author date of that commit or the subsequent commits. I'd planned on using `git rebase -i` to insert the commit. I believe it retains the author date, but changes the committer date to the current time. I've seen the options `--committer-date-is-author-date` and `--ignore-date`, but I don't believe either of those options does what I want. If no such option currently exists to leave the committer and author date unchanged, is there any chance that this functionality could please be implemented?

The easiest way to implement that is to add a graft to redirect the
parent of the second commit to the inserted commit, then use git
filter-branch to make the graft permanent.
