With DST or manual timezone changes (e.g. travelling) you can end up
with commits that are illogically sorted - newer commits have an
author/committer date that is older than older commits.

The time stamps in commits are recorded in Universal Time, so neither
DST nor timezone changes (both are essentially equivalent) have an
influence on how the time stamp is interpreted as a point in time.

The commits will be sorted correctly according to time, regardless
of the recorded timezone.  Thanks for pointing it out.
