We don't generally do this as its own commit. Instead, the first commit
to a file in 2012 is used to update the range along with whatever
substantive change is being made - and we'll typically collapse the years
to a single range when doing so (except that any missing years from before
1991 can't be included in a range, e.g. dates of 1987, 1988, 1990, 2012
would become 1987-1988, 1990-2012 rather than just 1987-2012).
