You need to be careful here, though.  What if you pulled from somebody
whose clock is set grossly in the future?

We could check for that and give relevant advice:

 fatal: committer date <date> precedes parent date <date>
 hint: It looks like you are trying to commit on top of a commit
 hint: from 5 years into the future.
 hint: Use "git rebase -f" to rewrite the commit with a more
 hint: sensible date, and please, fix your clocks!

If the problem is the commit you've just pulled, I'd advise against
re-writing it: it's published, it's too late.

Be careful also: Git can hardly guess whether your clock is late, or
whether your co-worker's clock is in the future.
