It's working well, but in the case a local change happen on the module, the timestamp provider doesn't detect it and still uses timestamp of the latest commit.
If you're doing that, you haven't got reproducible builds anyway. 
Developers need to build before they commit. Those local test builds may not be reproducible, but who cares? It helps the developer being efficient and improve quality.
I'm just concerned that if someone runs a "mvn install" instead of a "mvn verify" with local changes and git timestamp, he'll end with a bundle in its internal p2 repo that looks like the bundle containing code from commit yyyyMMddhhmm, but that is not the same. It will be more difficult to debug.
