Patch Set 1:

I prefer this compared to change: I10d08b503313f146969f38d5207fd1bdfaf97b92 as using the git formatter opens the way to add options to let the user choose other common timestamp formats supported by git. Showing standard git time format eats some horizontal space but also provides more information (timezone).

Same as Dani's change also this change doesn't give me the date and time format I specified in Mac OS X system preferences. I configured german date format and 24 hour time format but instead I get US date format and 12 hour time format. Maybe this is caused by an Eclipse platform bug ?
