git repository commits are sorted/grouped by the author date not the commit date
A git repository maintains two dates for each commit:
The AuthorDate which is displayed in standard
git log
outputThe CommitDate which is displayed in
git log --pretty=fuller
output
Here is an example from the OpenAFS project:
commit f199ac666195771a02e3ebb040c6e5fe47c58c58
Author: Andrew Deason
AuthorDate: Wed Nov 2 16:55:49 2011 -0500
Commit: Derrick Brashear
CommitDate: Sat Nov 12 06:55:52 2011 -0800
afs: Do not use separate array for srvAddrs
This use of the AuthorDate instead of the CommitDate results in two problems:
The commit list displayed by Ohloh is not ordered the same as
git log
output which results in confusion since the most recent commits will not always be displayed on the top of the list.Monthly totals, graphs, statistics, etc are incorrect.
The AuthorDate is the date that the Author created the first version of the patchset in the her/his local repository. The CommitDate is the date that the patchset was accepted by the project and committed to the upstream repository.
Can this please be fixed?
Thank you.
