[tor-talk] git: application level leaks and best practices?

You can override this behaviour, but it's not particularly convenient to do:

git commit --date=2015-02-25T01:00:00+0000 -m "fixed it"

You could probably create an alias within git to save typing, though you'd
still have to get used to using your new alias. As far as I know, there
isn't a global option to force this behaviour (there is one to force git
log to use UTC, but that's not much help here)
