Hi Hewi, Since we moved to Git, we're using a distributed version control system. This means that a commit is performed on the developer's local repository at time X. After some time (seconds, minutes, days), the developer pushes it to the central repository, let's say at time Y. Only then does the server have any knowledge of the commit, and can it send the email. This is the difference that you see -- a commit made at time X is mentioned in an email at time Y.
It can even happen that commits, once they are on the server, are not in chronological order. If you have three commits, done at times X1, X2 and X3 in that order, then X1 < X2 < X3. However, if this is done by different developers, they could push it to the server at different times, and you could get Y3 < Y2 < Y1. When you look at the git log, you only see the X times.
