I have never heard of any version of Git copying poorly with #1

inevitably to timestamps in the future when you somehow try to assign
100 timestamps for the series you have rebased on top of a patch
committed a few seconds ago.

Incrementing the timestamp to ensure strictly monotonic commits seems
like a recipe for trouble to me.

Um, I'm guessing you spent a lot of time typing your note, but not a
lot of time looking at my most recent patch?  My most recent patch for
guilt simply will set the time of the patch to the current time to
avoid setting it into the future.
