Oh dear, I think this is probably due to my series making rebase commit
in-process when the commit message isn't being edited. I didn't realize
that git cached the commit date rather than using the current time when
calling commit_tree_extended(). I'll take a look at it next week. I
think 'git am' probably gives all patches the same commit time as well
if the commit date is cached though it wont suffer from the time-travel
problem.
