STOP THIS DAMMIT!

You are now telling people to LIE about what they do.

No. The fix is to NOT REBASE POINTLESSLY.

And no, adding a "tested-by" is simply not a good enough reason to
rebase long after-the-fact.

So stop doing bad things. Bad things include:
 - lying about commit times
 - rebasing mindlessly
 - sending me pull requests for stuff that hasn't been in linux-next

And if you have a *major* and actual real reason to rebase (completely
broken history that needs to be fixed), it should be mentioned and
explained.

Not hidden away by lying about the commit times.

John, wow I don't want to pull anything from you, since you clearly
have this completely broken mentality where it's ok to lie about
rebases to hide the fact that you do it.
