Could we make it easier to generate an action stamp from the commit ID
or from a position in a VC log buffer when editing a later commit
message? The idea is to have something that is easier and more reliable
than the current process, where I manually convert the timestamp format
and time zone. I'm not surprised that others don't want to bother with
doing that.
