This series fixes bugs causing corruption of the root commit when "rebase -i --root" is used to swap in a new root commit. In particular, the "author" header has trailing garbage. Some tools handle the corruption somewhat gracefully by showing a bogus date, but others barf on it (gitk, for instance). git-fsck correctly identifies the corruption. I discovered this after git-rebase corrupted one of my own projects.
Unfortunately, after sending this series, I see that there is additional corruption that needs to be addressed. In particular, the "author" header time is incorrectly prefixed with "@", so this series is going to need a re-roll to fix that, as well.
