You can use commit --date argument:

git commit -m "message" --date "Tue Apr 28 23:00:00 2015 +0300"

UPD: there is also pretty cool script for shifting old commits date (you need Perl to run it): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitbits/git-shift/master/git-shift

perl git-shift +5h 2e6fd0a9dc98403c4fca638e411b3451cbc66a89

UPD2: You can create custom alias in order to shift all new commits automatically. In order to do that, put the following line into your ~/.bashrc file

alias future-commit='git commit --date "$(date -v +4H)"'

or

alias future-commit='git commit --date "$(date -d +4hours)"'

reload terminal and now you will be able to commit with +4 hours shift:

future-commit -m "future commit"
