Interesting that the actual date of the commit is December 31, 1969.

Wow, almost like it's the EPOCH and there was a bug that set unixtime to 0.

Sounds like the UNIX time epoch but in a timezone in America, e.g. EST (UTC-5), making it the day before.

Ah yes, the day we sold our bus.

It's possible to fool GitHub by changing your system clock before committing. You can make commits appear from the future too. See http://blog.metamorphium.com/2012/12/02/just-for-fun-code-fr...

Surely you don't have to touch the hardware. Just hand-editing a patch file before applying with git am is enough.
