diff <(git cat-file -p tags/v1.7.7^{}) <(git cat-file commit tags/v1.7.7^{})
(no diff)
That is, "cat file -p" pretty prints dates for tag objects but not for
commit objects. In fact, "-p" on commit objects does not prettify at all
compared to the raw content. Is that intentional? I'd suggest
prettifying dates with "-p" for commit objects also. But just how
plumbing is the "-p" mode of "cat-file"?
