Bug Description

It would be nice to be able to specify a date when doing a commit instead of always using local time.

That would allow users to recreate a bzr branch "a posteriori" from tarball archives or directories (using import),
or to split an existing branch while preserving the time line.

Date should be specified on the command line or by reference to a file, like the (unix) "touch" command.
