This makes gitbrute convenient to use on a series of commits after rebasing. Otherwise, date information for those commits is completely destroyed.

Design inspired heavily by https://github.com/bradfitz/gitbrute . 'git hash-object ...' suggestion from rdebath in bradfitz#7 . Like bradfitz#5 , this program walks the commit and authorship dates backward, rather than the current date. Like bradfitz#8 , we have the same problem. Fortunately, current dates are 10 digits long; it would take about 2^58 iterations to actually come up with a shorter time_t in decimal; we're way too CPU limited to realistically be brute forcing hashes with 58 bits of prefix.
