First, I want to say thanks for the library, it has been really helpful in our project :clap:
I was wondering if there is a way to change the created_at for testing?
When you are testing sometimes is useful to create a revision at a certain point in time (e.g in the past). In my case, I have a query that relies on the created_at. And I want to create multiple revisions on different days in the past.
I tried to do Carbon::setTestNow(Carbon::create(2020, 10, 15)); (Carbon setTestNow) but this doesn't work, because the created_at (also updated_at) properties are created with new \DateTime().
Is it possible to change new \DateTime() with a Carbon::now() so we can use setTestNow for testing? (I can provide a PR)
Or you know some way to accomplish what I want?
I know that I can create the revisions manually but then when you change the model, that creates more revisions and that affects the tests and also I believe with setTestNow the tests are more idiomatic.
