Yes, Eli's correct. Allowing for timezones and approval latency a few
days here or there is ok.
Anyway, this is why I personally adopted the convention:
2001-07-28 Andrew Cagney <ac131313@redhat.com>
Fix some PID/TPID fallout for HP/UX.
From 2001-07-22 Rodney Brown <rbrown64@csc.com.au>:
* infttrace.c (ptrace_wait): Match external declaration,
and match target_post_wait declaration.
so that the original date and the time of commit are retained. This
isn't a GNU standard.
