git gui produces series of commits with exactly the same time

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that git history contains series of commits with exactly 
the same time, despite the real commit time of these commits was 
different. All these commit were made using the git gui tool. I'm the 
only developer in this project.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

(I'm currently using Git 2.9.0 x64 under Windows.)

Is it possible that you played games with your GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment
variable?

Hi Johannes,

No.

Another thing I've found is that these commits have different timestamp 
in the "Author" and "Committer" lines. The "Committer" lines have 
correct timestamps, and the "Author" timestamp is wrong.

Hi everyone,

I've found one case when this bug happens.

1. Create a commit

2. Amend it

3. Create several new commits

All the new commits have the same "Author" timestamp until the git gui 
is restarted.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Best wishes,
