The commit timestamp? Most certainly.

If the commit timestamp were anything but "tomorrow" it would be a bug.
The whole point of a commit timestamp is to track who created a commit
when. Since a rebase creates commits, obviously the commit timestamp
will correspond to the time of the rebase, and the commit author will
correspond to the person doing the rebase.
Which is exactly why using "commit author/timestamp" is not going to cut
it as a unique identifier when rebases come into play.
