Yes, Eli's correct. Allowing for timezones and approval latency a few 
days here or there is ok.

Anyway, this is why I personally adopted the convention:

2001-07-28  Andrew Cagney  <ac131313@redhat.com>

         Fix some PID/TPID fallout for HP/UX.
         From 2001-07-22 Rodney Brown <rbrown64@csc.com.au>:
         * infttrace.c (ptrace_wait): Match external declaration,
         and match target_post_wait declaration.

so that the original date and the time of commit are retained.  This 
isn't a GNU standard.
