I propose to add an optional -timestamp flag to the following commands:
git appraise request
git appraise comment
git appraise accept
If the flag is not specified, it will default to the current timestamp. The timestamp will then be used for the request and comment JSON objects.
This will make it easy to script importing historical code reviews from other systems. No special code will be required, just normal shell commands. (User can be easily set in the shell with git config.)
