As far as I can tell the only way to do that is to use `--format`. Which is what Magit does - it uses `--format=\"%h [%aN] %ct %gd %gs\"`, i.e. `%ct`, the committer date. There's no \"update reflog entry date\" different from the committer date, the files in `.git/log/refs/` record the committer date I think."}}
