Hi Jacob, Thanks to your script, I've found a mistake in my analysis of the timestamps.
Interesting. I am very happy to have helped clear the air.
The commit dates in +0200 recently seem to be because Jia Tan rebased some commits from Lasse, and used --committer-date-is-author-date. commit 3007e74ef250f0ce95d97ffbdf2282284f93764d Author: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin () tukaani org> AuthorDate: Tue Mar 5 23:21:26 2024 +0200 Commit: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin () tukaani org> CommitDate: Tue Mar 5 23:23:16 2024 +0200 commit 6e97b299f1b22e366ec42ba5dc5b9d0746e87b84 Author: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin () tukaani org> AuthorDate: Tue Mar 5 23:21:26 2024 +0200 Commit: Jia Tan <jiat0218 () gmail com> CommitDate: Tue Mar 5 23:21:26 2024 +0200 $ git describe --all --contains 3007e74ef250f0ce95d97ffbdf2282284f93764d master~37 $ git describe --all --contains 6e97b299f1b22e366ec42ba5dc5b9d0746e87b84 tags/v5.6.1~9 The other three commits have a similar story. So it was a red herring. Then, all of Jia's actions have consistently been in +0800.
Very interesting---that red herring has gotten quite a bit of press.
Now I'm using your scripts to collect data from several projects where I work, to compare with data points that I know well.
Excellent! Now we are likely to get somewhere. -- Jacob
