> Your best guess is probably the committer information. Try this: Thanks Jeff, Junio, I'll just use the committer date instead. Being a Git newbie (only started looking at it yesterday) I'm not sure my understanding of "author" and "committer" and how they releate to dates is correct: * author: Original source of the change. This person may typically have sent a committer an email with a patch. It's the commiter's responsibility to supply this information. * author date: The commiter is free to specify a date for the contribution. * committer: First committer to actually add this change to a repository * committer date: Date of the actual commit, added by the git client during the commit. Typically the system clock at the time of the commit. * A transfer of a commit across repositories (pull, push) will not change the author, commit or date information If I got some of this wrong, I'd be happy if someone would correct me.
