I've encountered an issue with the functionality of changing commit dates and times on GitHub. When a user changes the date and time on their computer and makes a commit, these changes are accepted without any errors, even if they are dated in the past. As a result, the user's profile displays incorrect information about the dates and times of their commits, which can lead to misunderstandings regarding the user's activity.

What changes are you suggesting?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set an incorrect date and time on the computer.
2. Make a commit in a repository on GitHub.

Expected behavior:

• The system should check the dates and times of commits and reject commits that are dated in the past.

Actual behavior:

• Commits dated in the past are accepted without any warnings or errors.
