That looks like it would use the author date, when the committer date is more likely to be monotonic and closer to what's relevant here. (Actually I think you want --date=iso-local --pretty=format:%cd or similar to print just the committer date, in the UTC timezone that you've set rather than the committer's timezone which is the default for printing the date.) > 1) some trees will not be git repositories, e.g. release tarballs, snapshot > tarballs or e.g. vendor gcc tarball snapshots; for release Or they may be git repositories that don't have origin/releases/gcc-9 (for example) - a vendor repository with its own branch structure, say. -- Joseph S.
