Well, the commits aren't in date order, strictly speaking, and the
last commit isn't necessarily the oldest (though the first commit will
in fact be the newest).  How about:

<Home>	Move to head of list
<End>	Move to tail of list

Would that be any clearer?
I think "head of list" and "tail of list" are more the terms about the 
implementation detail and not so much an explanation that is easily 
understood for the user. I think some combination using the word "top" should 
rather be used to make it really clear we're talking about the upper end of 
the window.
The list isn't just a detail, it's what the user sees in the top pane:
the commits, listed in some order.

How about "top of list" and "bottom of list"?  Or "start of list" and
"end of list"?

Paul.
