but if git did what you wanted it would show every commit with the time of 
the merge, and that wouldn't help you anyway.

 
Actually that is exactly what I want. I want to know what local time change X and Y (and all
changes) were merged locally.

You misunderstand. It would do so both for the newly merged commits *and* 
for the old commits. Because _you_ think the "new" commits got merged, but 
it's logically exactly equivalent to saying that the *old* commits got 
merged.

So now *every* single commit would get the timestamp of the merge.

See? It would be pointless.
