{sigh}

$ date --date="2018-09-25 07:40:06 +1000" +%s
1537825206
$ date --date="2018-09-24 15:16:41 +0200" +%s

$ bc <<< "1537825206-1537795001"
30205
$ date -ud "@30205" +'%H hours %M minutes %S seconds'
08 hours 23 minutes 25 seconds

8.5 hours seems like a short amount of time for something to sit in a
tree before asking for it to be merged.  Wait, it's actually less than
that, I just took into account the longest possible time it could have
been in your tree.

I'll wait a few days on this one...
