That was not my intention when I posted the patch. I seem to recall that
I asked for testing, in particular from users with older Emacsen than
23. But I got no response, and only recently discovered that the patch
hade been accepted.

format-spec is included in Emacs 23, and is a useful function. But we
can rewrite git-blame.el to do the formatting manuall instead.
