I mean "backdated" in the sense that the repo history shows earlier commits-dated before I filed, but those commits are filled with unrelated, low-effort content (junk, gibberish, or placeholders). The later commits-after I filed - contain material that closely resembles my system. It gives the appearance of an older repo, but the meaningful content is recent.

Even if the meaningful content would have been older than yours, faking Git timestamps is trivial.
