When you view the log of a file with tortoise hg, there's a column "Age".

This column has the date in a format like this:

4 hours ago
21 months ago
22 months ago
2008-03-17

It uses "ago" for many things, even as far back as 22 months, and a proper
date notation for some other things (older than 2 years perhaps?).

When using "hg log" in the terminal it also shows the dates in the literal
format, is tortoisehg doing the conversion to "22 months ago"?

I'd like to suggest a different column, called "Date" instead of "Age", that
shows the date in a format that is always like 2010-07-19. Usually when I
see the log with tortoisehg, I want to see the change that happened for
example at some date. This date comes for example from another log, the bug
tracker, etc... It's very hard to search for such a date if it's in a format
like "22 months ago". I just want to see literally "2008-08-19" or whatever
the date is.

I think it'd be really handy!

Thanks.
