If you call it that;

see the use-commit-times option in your config.

I rather object to omitting commit date metadata in our
exported release tarballs, since we lose context of files 
changed for those reviewing the package.  That's just my 2c US.

Footnote; issues like these is why most early CVS users used
the $date meta token, until most implementations got it right
on leaving the commit dates in the filesystem.
