I had to look that up. :-) Yes, I'm apparently looking at (and for) author dates. I don't really care when the commit was merged into master (that's the committer date, right?), I want to know when the work was done.

I didn't really see any useful switches for git log in this regard but then the author date seems to be additional data without special meaning to Git.
