I always use --ignore-date when curating pre-commit.  I'd like to at
an absolute minimum enforce that CommitDate be newer than the previous
commit and older than the push time.  There is no good argument for
allowing non-linear CommitDates since the only requirement is that the
committer have their clock set more or less correctly.
