Yes, commit time and commit date influence the hash.
But the hashes for the corresponding trees should be the same.
Check the output of git rev-parse $commit^{tree}.
If you want to reproduce the exact same commit, you need to set
the env variables GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE. (Not sure,
but GIT_AUTHOR_DATE might be handled by git am.)
Best regards
