Is the issue here the clock time spent between the commits, i.e., the possibility that someone is going to push to the
specificbranches in between or the date/time that the commit itself displays?  Because if it's specifically commit time
that'sat issue, I believe `git cherry-pick` preserves the original commit time from the original commit, which should
makethat a non-issue.  Even if you need to fix up a commit to get the cherry-pick to apply, you can always `git commit
-C<ref-of-cherry-pick>` to preserve the authorship/commit time for the commit in question.
