--ignore-date::
--reset-author-date::
- Instead of using the given author date, reset it to the
- current time. This implies --force-rebase.
+ By default, the author date of the original commit is used
+ as the author date for the resulting commit. This option
+ tells Git to use the current timestamp instead and implies
+ `--force-rebase`.
