Some projects require a "git rebase --ignore-date" (or "git rebase 
--reset-author-date", which I consider the more obvious spelling) before 
pushing.  A hook could potentially reject commits with timestamps that 
are too far off to the server's liking.

I can't comment on whether we need or want either the policy or the hook 
or both.  I don't really have a problem with the default Git behaviour 
here.
