You may want to consider whether those dates make most sense as the date of the commit, or the date the changes were done; git tracks both of these separately, in part because it's easy to have some work done at one time, and only make the commit that becomes part of the official project history much later (and these may be done by different people).

The date for the changes being done is set with GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
