Looking through the commit log more detailed using gitk, I've found
what I believe to be the reason it looks messed up on GitHub: While
the "Author" field has the correct date/time, the "Committer" field
has today, since I rebased today. I guess GitHub uses the Committer
timestamp in some cases, and the Author timestamp in others.

Is there anything I can do to "fix" this? I would like the old history
to look correct, since the commits were originally committed at the
time they were authored. I would like my rebasing to be invisible to
anyone looking at the repository. Since the repository has not been
touched by anyone but me, there aren't any issues with modifying the
commit history.
