sequencer: reset the committer date before commits
Now that the sequencer commits without forking when the commit message isn't edited all the commits that are picked have the same committer date. If a commit is reworded it's committer date will be a later time as it is created by running an separate instance of 'git commit'. If the reworded commit is follow by further picks, those later commits will have an earlier committer date than the reworded one. This is caused by git caching the default date used when GIT_COMMITTER_DATE is not set. Reset the cached date before a commit is generated in-process.
