Note that the relative time output is translated, see all the Q_() calls in show_date_relative(). Consequently, these tests fail in GETTEXT_POISON builds. Please use 'test_i18ncmp' instead.

Furthermore, I think it would help readibility of this helper function if the commands in the 'test_expect_success' block were indented.
