A quick wrapper script for normalized git commit dates. Commit dates and timezones are normalized or truncated to the day. This is useful for avoiding rebasing and/or not having to think about system or git date/time settings when on another device or in another timezone. If precise timestamps matter, then it is easily disabled.
