> how far back (in time) do those 27k commits go

Looking at the commit dates (which seem to be derived from the original publication dates) the history seems quite sparse/incomplete(?) I mean, there have only been 26 commits since 2000.

It seems the commits aren't in proper date order. Here are some newer changes, placed before the latest commits: https://github.com/EnriqueLop/legalize-es/commits/master/?af...

It's related to commits actually having a parent-child structure (forming a graph) and timestamps (commit/author) being metadata. So commits 1->2->3->4 could be modified to have timestamps 1->3->2->4. I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled.

It's just that the last couple dozen commits, to me, looked like commits had been created in chronological order, so that topological order == chronological order. > I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled. Commits are usually sorted topologically.
