## git filter-branch to replace GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, setting
## all times to their equivalent in UTC.

## The path to your copy of my gitdate script:
GITDATE=`which gitdate`

    printf "    (included in this script), or the contents of it, as an argument to either\n"
    printf "    '--env-filter' or '--commit-filter'.\n"
    printf "  * A way to cause the '$@' variables in filterdate() to not apply to the cmdline\n"
