gitk: Display the date of a tag in a human-friendly way
By selecting a tag within gitk you can display information about it. This information is output by using the command 'git cat-file tag <tagid>' This outputs the *raw* information from the tag, amongst which is the time - in seconds since the epoch. As useful as that value is, I find it a lot easier to read and process time which it is something like: "Mon Dec 31 14:26:11 2012 -0800" This change will modify the display of tags in gitk like so: @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ object 5d417842efeafb6e109db7574196901c4e95d273 type commit tag v1.8.1 -tagger Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1356992771 -0800 +tagger Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Mon Dec 31 14:26:11 2012 -0800 Git 1.8.1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Signed-off-by: Anand Kumria <wildfire@progsoc.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
