Currently, when Copybara is used in SQUASH mode with a Git origin and destination, it keeps the date of the last original commit as the squash commit's AuthorDate, but sets the CommitDate to the time of its invocation. As far as I can tell, there is no way to change this, leading to needless exposure of metadata from the original repository.
It would be great if there was a way to let it set the AuthorDate to the time of invocation as well, or better yet to provide ways of configuring/manipulating these more generally.
