I know, but how is it possible that a changeset has been pushed before being committed? I believe that the difference is that gitweb (which was used before) reports the time of the last push affecting any of the branches, while cgit reporst the time of the last push affecting the master branch only. In my opinion, the gitweb behavior is more consistent with the git data model, but it is not a big deal. I like to peek at xenomai development from time to time and a quick view on the last time changes are pushed to the repositories was handy, but not essential.
