You can fix this locally quickly using:
$ fgrep 7001 /usr/bin/rebase*
/usr/bin/rebaselst: touch -t 7001010000 "$1"
$ sed -i /7001/s//198001/ /usr/bin/rebaselst
$ fgrep 1980 /usr/bin/rebaselst
touch -t 198001010000 "$1"
and test this fix by running "rebase-trigger full", shutting down everything
Cygwin, downloading and running setup.
