14 I'm curious why the time part is even necessary, or at least,
15 necessary at that accuracy.
16 Day seems to be all that is necessary at most, and even then, you
17 could reduce that down to a single number ( because its assumed to be
18 from "now" to "a weekago" and the inference can be made, and maybe for
19 convenience, use "days ago", or somethig.

21 If you're needing the timestamps to try work out which commit
22 something happened, the SHA1 is going to prove far more useful at
23 that.
