Well, I mean since there is no time order matching commit order guarantee for distributed git the
only timestamp to use for anything locally is local time (if timestamps are used at all). The
current remote creation or merge time could stay as is (I don't care either way), but at least
gitweb.cgi should become local commit time/ref-log aware. Though if it's infeasible or requires
some rearchitecting it might not happen.
