When porting, we overlooked that the difference between git's and our's time
representation and copied their way of getting the max value.

Unfortunately git was using unsigned integers, so `~0ll` does correspond to
their max value, whereas for us it corresponds to `-1`. This means that we
always consider the last date to be smaller than the current commit's and always
think commits are interesting.

Change the initial value to the macro that gives us the maximum value on each
platform so we can accurately consider commits interesting or not.
