Too bad the date stamps only can go back to 1970-1-1. It's neat, though, to be able to flip through the history like this.

Apart from the timestamps, line returns also make some of the diffs difficult to interpret sometimes, like if the first line of a long paragraph gets wrapped differently then all the paragraph is just highlighted as a diff instead of each modified word.

Isn't there a better tool than git for plain text diffs?

Is git using an unsigned int for time?
