When importing Git repositories, treat out-of-range timestamps as the current time
Summary:
Fixes T11537. See that task for discussion.
Although we could accommodate these faithfully, it requires a huge migration and affects one repository on one install which was written with buggy tools.
At least for now, just replace out-of-32-bit-range epoch values with the current time, which is often somewhat close to the real value.
Test Plan:
- Following the instructions in T11537, created commits in 40,000 AD.
- Tried to import them, reproducing the "epoch" database issue.
- Applied the patch.
- Successfully imported future-commits, with some liberties around commit dates. Note that author date (not stored in an epoch column) is still shown faithfully:
