This implies --force-rebase. s/to the value same as .* date\./the current time./; 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. Again, I think reset-author-date would be a better synonym to this one.
