Please hold for a re-roll on this one. Ævar has some feedback
on these patches that merit a new version. His comments are
mainly about test structure, but they will help get extra
coverage in the 32-bit case.

Patrick also had some concerns about upgrading from older,
buggy versions of Git. I think this isn't an issue [1] because of
how those older versions would ignore existing corrected
commit dates, but it would be good to get a common understanding
of the scenario before merging this.
