GIT_AUTHOR_DATE.

To set the date used in future tag objects, set the environment
variable GIT_AUTHOR_DATE to one or more of the date and time. The
variable GIT_COMMITTER_DATE to one or more of the date and time. The
date and time can be specified in a number of ways; the most common
is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM".

An example follows.

------------
$ GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="2006-10-02 10:31" git tag -s v1.0.1
$ GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="2006-10-02 10:31" git tag -s v1.0.1
