I never use "fixup -C" (or -c), but I do use squash/fixup a lot.  I 
find that I would prefer it if Git used the most recent Author date 
from the set of commits being combined, rather than preserving the 
picked commit's Author date.

that would be unreliable, as plain amends wouldn't be reflected. that 
may be rare in your workflow, but still.

I'm not talking about amends, plain or otherwise.

but why wouldn't you? your use case of marking the date of completion 
naturally covers all ways of amending commits, whether directly or via 
squashing.

Please do not presume what my use cases might be.  I'm quite happy with 
commit's behaviour, but not happy with rebase's fixup/squash behaviour 
because it's too much work to achieve the desired results.  (Results 
which, as I said, I don't care about enough to bother changing anyway).
