The gap Git records history. But git history is editable. You can rebase, force-push, amend, rewrite. A commit hash proves internal consistency, not external time. Nobody outside your system can verify when that commit actually existed. For most teams this does not matter. For regulated industries, IP disputes, audit trails, or supply chain security: it matters a lot. The question is simple: can you prove this code existed before Thursday? With git alone, you cannot.
