https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21787872/is-it-possible-... seems to indicate it should be possible now.

In particular, https://stackoverflow.com/a/24977895 says:

”As I mentioned in 2017, in "Use future date while making git commits", Git has started to adopt a different and dedicated timestamp_t type.

As illustrated in Legilibre/Archeo-Lex issue 47:

Dates are now using the timestamp_t type, defined as typedef uintmax_t timestamp_t;, in place of unsigned long type, in order to fix some issues on 32bits platforms... and Windows 64 bits ^^.

The project archeo-lex.fr (which depends on older dates) is using git hash-object, combined with the Git repo viewer Legilibre/Archeo-Lex-web.

This is now (Feb. 2019) done, as commented by Seb35“

(https://archeo-lex.fr/codes has a history of French law)

It's still unsigned, so I don't see how it helps with pre-1970 dates.
