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
