The commit time is only available in commits themselves. Hence, in order to assign a timestamp to changes between commits, one has to diff them. There are probably plenty of algorithms that are feasible, implementing them fast isn't that easy though. |

If performance becomes a problem, the python bindings to libgit2 might help.
