If you're just creating the commits now, you can set $GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
and $GIT_COMMITTER_DATE in the environment. Like:
export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='1980-01-01 00:00:00 +0000'
export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$GIT_AUTHOR_DATE"
If you have existing commits, you'll have to look into rewriting them
with git-filter-branch, or piping git-fast-export to git-fast-import and
modifying the stream in between.
