If I create a commit in my linux working repo today, but Linus doesn't merge it into his repository until after he releases 2.6.24, then my commit will be created with an earlier date than 2.6.24, even though it isn't included until 2.6.25.

So you have to actually examine the history graph to figure this out this sort of thing.
