Hi Jonathan!
 I'm afraid "010913" has nothing to do with git versioning and it is indeed 
misleading.
"rtmpdump-2.4-git-010913-windows.zip" is the (only) 2.4 win32 binary hosted 
on
the official RTMPDump page, which is:

http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/

When this binary first appeared online sometime mid-January, the latest 
commit on
the git repo here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/rtmpdump.git

was this one:

http://repo.or.cz/w/rtmpdump.git/commit/3a1e20c08cc4f7ad8b6684fadd0bfb4420376809

The 3 latest after this, dated  2012-12-30, did not make it to the repo 
until much later,
possibly end of January (I know it may sound peculiar, but it is indeed 
true!).

I am 99% sure that "010913" is the compilation date of the binary, written 
in the US way,
that is Jan 9th 2013 or 09/01/13 in European writing.
If it was compiled from git-master at the time, that would make it
"rtmpdump-2.4-git-3a1e20c"

PS: The previous win binary hosted on the official site was this one:

rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32

and was compiled by Steven Penny on Sep 25th 2011 (ergo 20110925);
although the link
http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/rtmpdump-20110925-git-6230845-win32.zip
still works, it was removed at his request from plain view in Nov 2012, when 
his relation
with Howard Chew and other rtmpdump devs turned sour - see this post:
