That explains it, then:

$ git log --format=%cd' %h' 19f5fb7 ^v2.6.34-rc1~200 Sun Jan 24 14:34:07 2010 -0500 19f5fb7 Mon Dec 7 10:36:20 2009 -0500 d2eecb0 Fri Jan 1 01:00:21 2010 -0500 f8ec9d6 Wed Dec 23 07:45:44 2009 -0500 71f2be2 Fri Jan 22 17:40:42 2010 -0500 1f2acb6 Mon Feb 15 20:17:55 2010 -0500 15121c1 Thu Feb 4 23:58:38 2010 -0500 a1de02d

This part of the history is linear.

Is the rule that every commit must be at most one day before each of its parents? This should probably be documented somewhere, since it is possible to override the committer date with GIT_COMMITTER_DATE.
