[PATCH v2 4/5] rebase -i: support --ignore-date

From
PWPhillip Wood <phillip.wood123@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 29, 2020, 10:25 UTC
Message-ID
<20200429102521.47995-5-phillip.wood123@gmail.com>

<20200429102521.47995-1-phillip.wood123@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

As part of the on-going effort to retire the apply rebase backend teach the merge backend how to handle --ignore-date. We take care to handle the combination of --ignore-date and --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as the apply backend.
