Looking at the attached pic the last commit was 5 days ago, however the first 2 lines show changes 39 mins ago.

https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/tree/newclock5

If I click on the change description for the first line then it shows the commit was 3 year ago.

What am I missing here? Am I not understanding the whole commit/date/time thing?

Would appreciate it if someone explained this. I would think the latest commit should then show 39 mins ago?

On git are two types of dates: GIT_AUTHOR_DATE (when you made the original commit) and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE (when patch was applied).

In your example changes was commited 3 years ago but was applied later.
