Re: [PATCH] Can show relative date of the commit with future timestamp

Thank you for reconsider my patch! As you said, my implementation is
not good while the idea is not bad.
I checked out the latest git source code and patch it with your
replacement, and it looks nice, I like it.

This patch comes from my real need. And I think someone may need it as
well. To be honest, this is my first submitted patch in my life.

I was re-reading the backlog and after looking at it again, I do not
think what the patch tries to do is a bad thing.  There are changes
I want to see _how_ it is done, though.

Especially, the duplication of the exact same logic in the future
and in the past is an unmaintainable mess.

I have queued a replacement in 'pu'.
