SYNOPSIS

	git-local-arrival <committish>

DESCRIPTION

	The command displays the time when given commit appeared in the 
	local repository.

This should be certainly doable, but local-arrival may not be
interesting if the repository has more than one branches.  Maybe

	git-local-arrival <committish> [<branch>]

which defaults to the current branch?

Indeed.  I didn't mention it initially because it is really easy to do 
once you have it working for the current branch.  The technical 
challenge is about making it efficient to find out which reflog entry 
with a path to given commit is the oldest.
