As I understand it, that's not easy since git does not prefer one branch to the 
other in a merge, so any scheme we come up with will be as likely to redate 
commits already in the master as to redate commits entering through the merge.

Something like that should work. We aren't doing that now, which causes problems 
like the confusion noted.

gitlog-to-changelog uses %ct, not %at, for its 'git log' format, so 'make 
ChangeLog' should already be using committer date.
