Hi Ted, [ nip ]

It seems that the committer date is set to coincide with the author
date for ext4 patches, which breaks some assumptions by git that each
commit has a later or equal committer date than all parents (modulo
some skew).

Argh. Yeah, that's just _evil_. Admittedly, git should never care, but in 
practice it does, because doing the whole graph walk can be _very_ 
expensive. So git wants to think that the committer dates at least have 
_some_ real-life significance.
