I dont think I've ever seen a commit that says "49 years ago". Damn.

Not quite as old, but brl-cad is still in active development and has commits from 1983. https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/graphs/contributors?all=1

I was confused by the short commit history, and then I checked the branches.

I love that someone went to this effort.

It's funny that the .gitignore is marked as being from 49 years ago ...

Even the README here is (erroneously?) timestamped as 1978 https://github.com/microsoft/BASIC-M6502

Which is unlikely since it seems to be written by AI

Files in Git don't have timestamps, only commits do. It got swept up when `git commit --date=...` was run.
