s/to the value same as .* date\./the current time./;

The more important thing is that we record the current timestamp as
the author date; that timestamp being very close to the committer
date of the resulting commit is a mere consequence of the fact that
we use the current time for committer date and much less important.

Again, I think reset-author-date would be a better synonym to this
one.
