The author_date_slab is used to store the author date of a commit
when walking with the --author-date flag in rev-list or log. This
was added as an 'unsigned long' in
81c6b38b "log: --author-date-order"
Since 'unsigned long' is ambiguous in its bit-ness across platforms
(64-bit in Linux, 32-bit in Windows, for example), most references
to the author dates in commit.c were converted to timestamp_t in
dddbad72 "timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps"
However, the slab definition was missed, leading to a mismatch in
the data types in Windows. This would not reveal itself as a bug
unless someone authors a commit after February 2106, but commits
can store anything as their author date.

I found this while reading up on the revision-walk machinery. This code
hasn't been touched in years, so could apply to 'maint'.
