Show date details in EGit history

Question

Hi I just installed Kepler and started using EGit. In the history view, changes checked in in the past are showing as xx days/weeks/months ago. Instead of these notations, I want to see the datetime details (or best to have both along side each other).

How do you config EGit to do that?

If it is not possible in the current config, I dont mind compiling my own patched version of EGit, please provide where the line of code lies.

Thank you

In the History view:

1. Click on the view menu (the triangle button)
2. Deselect Show > Relative Dates

Alternatively, change it in the preferences:

1. Go to Team > Git > History
2. Deselect Relative Dates
