If you are cloning an archive, then I don't think the dates should
change. But if you are transplanting some changes from one branch to
another, then I think it might be useful for the dates to change. I
think it depends on the purpose.

Yes, that's a good reason for the ChangeLog entries to have the date
when the patch was applied.
I think we avoid these issues if we do away with hand-edited ChangeLog
files and simply generate them from the Mercurial archive when we make
releases.
