Thanks Jeff, Junio,

I'll just use the committer date instead.

Being a Git newbie (only started looking at it yesterday) I'm not sure
my understanding of "author" and "committer" and how they releate to
dates is correct:

* author: Original source of the change. This person may typically
have sent a committer an email with a patch. It's the commiter's
responsibility to supply this information.
* author date: The commiter is free to specify a date for the contribution.

* committer: First committer to actually add this change to a repository
* committer date: Date of the actual commit, added by the git client
during the commit. Typically the system clock at the time of the
commit.

* A transfer of a commit across repositories (pull, push) will not
change the author, commit or date information

If I got some of this wrong, I'd be happy if someone would correct me.

Thanks,

Eirik.
