Well, I won't hold it against you, since I also often need to fix patches or git commit descriptions anyway. But at the same time, my workflow (which you have no right to dictate) **will** destroy your timestamp. Given that you haven't explained why you want to do this, I'm not going have much sympathy if you complain. Personally, given that you're going through some extremely baroque e-mail/patchsubmission scheme, I don't understand why you can't also arrange to override the Date field in the e-mail header. But I don't really care all that much, because I can ignore your timestamp no matter where you put it.
