A part of the reason is the way development happens. Most of the 
development happens in the crew repo, which Matt occasionally pulls 
from. Take a look at http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/DeveloperRepos 
and http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew

Except for that: If you look at http://selenic.com/repo/hg - and 
especially http://selenic.com/repo/hg/graph/ - you will notice that time 
moves backwards and that some changes earlier than those two months ago 
were made 3 weeks ago.

The reason is probably that the patches from Nicolas Dumazet were 
created or started two months ago, and that date were used when the 
patches were applied.

Why? Are you looking for something particular?
