I'm following the commits to master branch of Messaging app in AOSP. Sometimes I see very old dated commits appear at the top in its logs: Messaging app master branch commits How do I find where these commits come from? If they're on a separate branch, how do I find that branch and the initial original commit into the repository?

That is the latest commit on master. The date is when the author made the change, but it was committed recently (2 days ago).

The author and committer need not be the same.

  • I'm not asking why the author and commiter are different... these are bug fixes from 4-5 years ago, and I only could see now. Where are such fixes are kept? I think I should be able to find them since this is an open source project, right? – Tekins Feb 15 '20 at 06:39
  • @Tekins, Android vendors completely out of the idea of OSS and putting back changes. So, it may have been kept in many places, starting from internal repository of a vendor. – 0andriy Feb 15 '20 at 10:45
