- So exported data is never/rarely in an inconsistent state with respect to commit order and local time order (data integrity).
- To encourage people to care about/prefer local commit time rather than remote creation/emailed time
- So people that user repo X, or binaries from repo X, know when bug fix Y/fancy new feature Z was committed/merged locally
- In many situations "history" is incomplete without local commit time. If a company has a new driver they would probably prefer to know when the main kernel repo has it, not when they created/emailed it or when a remote repo committed it.
