that would be unreliable, as plain amends wouldn't be reflected. that
may be rare in your workflow, but still.
I'm not talking about amends, plain or otherwise. I'm talking about
fixup/squash.
(Why do you focus so much an making rebase and commit behave
identically? There is no reason to do so just because they happen to
share a couple of parameter names.)
Sometimes it takes quite a while for me to get a piece of work sorted
out, and I would rather have the Author date in the end-result commit
reflect the work's completion time than its initiation time.
afaict, you need to get used to `--amend --reset-author` all commits
before you push to achieve this reliably. that can be easily automated
by using -x with rebase -i (filter-repo (ex filter-branch) would also
work).
Yes, I know how to force my desired author date on commits, thanks.
