The remaining problem is that the invocation of 'date' doesn't work with

Well, you might choose to just not use "git-cat-file commit" but instead 
ask git to format the thing for you.

Ie you could probably more easily parse the data from something like

	git show -B --patch-with-stat --pretty=fuller $commit

instead of using "git-cat-file commit $commit" and generating the stat and 
diff manually.

That way you get the dates etc pretty-printed for you by git.
