@ferricoxide@blahaj.zone The history rewriting approach I've mentioned doesn't change commit dates - I wanted to make sure I found something that preserved as much metadata as possible
Rewriting the history like that is unlikely to be viable on work projects or open source ones with lots of collaborators, but it is a good option to know about for things like personal projects

@nerdnz@cloudisland.nz Meant commit IDs. I've seen attempts at removing committer information from projects end up re-IDing everything. Thus my curiosity. I've been lucky enough that I've generally been able to not use name-based emails for public projects.
