"Friendly" time stamp gives wrong times for some commits

[SRNissen]

The problem

At this exact time of writing:

• Sat Jan 13 10:22:47 AM UTC 2024 according to $Date -u
• Sat Jan 13 11:22 in human-friendly local time as shown by my OS

Looking at git commit history:

Thursday is not "1d" ago from time "now", neither in local nor in universal time.

Possibly "1d" is the answer GD's "Friendly Time" library provider gives you.

Unfortunately, it is wrong*. On any day X+1, claiming that something happened "1d" ago means it happened on day X.

* A reasonable exception is for a conversation that takes place past midnight where you are, mentally, still located in the prior day. This is not context Github Desktop has available to it.
