During the agave to SVM transition, cherry-picks from agave can lose author/committer metadata and land out of chronological order.
This script fixes both: it preserves author and committer (name, email, date) from the upstream clone, and automatically reorders the commit into the correct position in the branch if needed.
Not sure this belongs in the repo long term, but wanted it reviewable rather than living only on my machine. Also want it usable in case I'm OOO and someone else needs to pick up the task.
I'm also fine just closing the PR without merging once the cut-over happens.
