Ah my clock is wrong, showing the right time but "wrong".

I think the way launchad manages it now is fine, it just confused me when it
said
"in whenever". I think that its also going to be more useful having commit
time as
the last modified time which means that there is always going to be a
reliance on
the clock of the person comitting. Maybe there could be some way of warning
the
user when a nonsense time is displayed?
