Do you really want to set the date to something arbitrary, or do you just want to set it to "now"? If the latter case, do you really just want the recently discussed --reset-author?

Also, is there a good reason why GIT_AUTHOR_DATE is not respected in this case? If not, should we simply be fixing that bug instead?
