Re: edit Author/Date metadata as part of 'git commit' $EDITOR invocation?

Quoting Adam Megacz [off-list ref]

Perhaps a preference (off by default) demanding that they be set
explicitly when "git commit -m" is used?

Sverre pointed out why this won't work.

Some people care more than others about the metadata; this is for the
folks to whom it matters a lot.

So the only workable solution is to check your commits with "git show -s" until you become confident that you configured your new box correctly. Some people unfortunately don't care enough to do so, but it is for the people to whom it matters.
