Thanks. There are references to author timestamps there. The date in a ChangeLog entry should always be a commit timestamp, not an author one, so author timestamps present either in commit messages or in the git commit metadata should be ignored, with only the committer timestamps from the git commit metadata being used when generating ChangeLog files. -- Joseph S.
