For some use cases that are outside of how Git was designed to be used, such configuration might be useful, but I am not yet convinced that it is worth the engineering effort for this project to review, accept and maintain changes to implement it. Just my personal opinion, of course ;-) After all, if you leave series of commits that stress the fact that you not just fail to keep, but do deliberately avoid to keep, a reliable record of when you made your changes, half the value of keeping your work in source code management system vanishes. When somebody comes to your project and says certain parts of your code were stolen from their proprietary IP, wouldn't you rather be able to produce the record of who did what at which time to refute their claim by showing that your project members invented the code long before they claim they were stolen from them?
