Oh yes there is. Go to the home page of the repo:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer

The time of the last commit is shown above the file list, which may be 
all you need.  Click on the "XXX Commits" link above the file list to 
see the commit log.  Commit times are somewhat unhelpfully displayed in 
relative form. Hover your mouse over the "12 hours ago" or whatever to 
see the absolute time.

Or just use the Atom feed:
