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.
