Why are all of the commits on December 31, 1999? #4

The script used to generate the commits contains the following:

        author_date_s=now,
        author_email=email,
        author_name=name,
        committer_date_s=now,
        committer_email=email,
        committer_name=name,

where now should be the current date as of the time the repository was generated, but is instead interpreted as "December 31, 1999". Why?

*If you live in the Eastern Hemisphere, replace "December 31, 1999" with "January 1, 2000".
