Hello,
what option to I have to tweak to get timestamps human understandable
again:

git-whatchanged | head -5
diff-tree 422dee18f8b39b4c14332afbdf75a5c519bdbed2 (from 16df05aa0464e5e17d4ef023b78bc7b98546cb9a)

committer vrsieh <vrsieh> 1082362048 +0000
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This seems to happen with Linus git tree HEAD.

------------
This steals --pretty command line option from rev-list and
teaches diff-tree to do the same.  With this change,

    $ git-whatchanged --pretty

would work as expected.
