Git rebase interactive with fixup or squash will combine the commits into the first one. So the timestamp will still be somewhat reflective of when work is done (on average).

Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there is at least some biasing. E.g. first commits happening relatively soon after regularly scheduled scrum meetings. At least if they’re the type of developer who checkpoints after incremental changes.

Are you sure?

It seems fairly likely to me that the average time of day that someone makes the initial commit on a new branch would be quite different from the average time of day that they make commits generally. Am I misunderstanding?
