On the other hand, if a project agrees, and for example locks the
main branch, any merging or plain committing to it can enforce
commit-amending including date-updates etc, as well as expanding
$CVS and @# SCCS format strings (i think by then this discussion
came up in the past, and Warner Losh rejected such a thing, if
i recall correctly ... but may not).
