I don't really see the value of the author date in a rebase-based workflow; by the time some series get committed I've folded tens if not hundreds of commits into the "original" commits. But I don't really mind either way. If people want people not to smush up the dates then please remove the section I added to the wiki this morning. Thanks, Gary -- http://gbenson.net/
