No, git's time code is (mostly) internal routines. Can you show us the
output of:

    git cat-file commit 23c07cc | egrep '^author|committer'

Note also that some interfaces (like "git log", and GitHub) will show
the author date by default, which might be different than the committer
date. The "-40643156" timezone definitely looks suspicious, though. I'm
curious if it is bad handling in the time code, or if the commit has
corrupt ident lines.
