The content of the new commit looks good.  I usually use the date
printed out by the extraction script as the --date value on the
"git commit" line so that the authorship recorded for the commit
not only reflects the upstream developers but the upstream time
of the version as well.

That's correct.  The VNL instructions leave that out because they
are for updating the already-initialized tree.

You'll also have trouble pushing/merging it the first time to
master but just put the full topic somewhere I can fetch and
I'll push it for you.  The reason is that there is a server-side
hook that blocks new root commits from entering history.  It is
there to prevent someone from accidentally merging an unrelated
project's history into ITK.
