Overview
Google takeout (https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) for photos mangles the datetime EXIF data for some reason. The original datetime is available in metadata json sidecar files that accompany the images. This program attempts to use that metadata to fix the datetime in the jpeg's EXIF data.
