Build Identifier: 

I have a commit that was created on May 05, 18:14. I see this correct date in the git log. However, if I parse the commit and call RevCommit.getCommitTime(), multiply it with 1000 and pass the value to the Date constructor I get May 6, 05:52. If I use RevCommit.getAuthorIdent().getWhen() I get the correct date.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Sounds like your commit was amended? It is valid for the commit time to differ from the AuthorIdent as these are two different fields in the same commit object.

If you want us to look into the bug further, please provide the "author" and "committer" lines from the commit object's headers. You can read them by running `git cat-file commit COMMIT_SHA1` on the command line.

The author and committer lines:

author zluspai <zoltan.luspai@intland.com> 1304612098 +0200
committer zluspai <zoltan.luspai@intland.com> 1304653950 +0200

The times are really different.
