[Feature Request] Set author date during commit

[galvaniccoffee]

It would be nice to have an option for setting the author date in the commit UI (basically support git commit --date).

I think it's useful e. g. for cases where you commit work you've actually done the previous day, so that the dates in the commit history carry useful information. I could imagine it being implemented as a field in the UI next to the commit button, that per default just says "Date: now", but gives you a date picker when you click it.

I'd prefer to keep UI clean and minimalistic.

That's fair enough. Feel free to just close this if it doesn't fit your vision :)
