Don't agree with that. When you rebase or amend, original timestamp
doesn't change. A commit can sit for month in reviews & testing, can
morph to a quite different code and still preserve old timestamp.
Then it is finally pushed and most people (well, at least myself)
find the timestamp that arrived to official git quite misleading.

I already have had problems with that doing "eye bisecting" -
looking through history and searching for a commit that could
have caused a regression.
