hi

i found a minor bug in the handling of the
environment variable GIT_AUTHOR_DATE

i used this variable to import an old project.

i used "stat" to get the timestamp of a file
and set the git history to this date with
this command:

GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=`stat -c '%y' "$FILE"`

old files (created with an older kernel)
produced this output.

2008-05-28 14:21:35.000000000 +0200

but new files return nanosecond resolution
timestamps.

2008-06-04 17:25:54.917476713 +0200

of course this resolution is NOT needed
for git, but git DOES NOT ignore this time-
stamps. it changes the date to something
completly wrong :-/

steps to reproduce:

$ git init
$ touch test
$ stat -c %y test
2008-08-16 22:25:45.491701924 +0200
$ export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=`stat -c %y test`
$ git add test
$ git commit -a
$ git log
