"cat-file -p" is an ill-conceived half-ass afterthought, and I do not think anybody sane considers it as part of the "plumbing" ultra stable interface for machine consumption. See a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger dates., 2006-03-01). > I'd suggest > prettifying dates with "-p" for commit objects also. Please make it so. It is your choice to do a patch to update this single thing first, or to discuss the output with "-p" for all the other object types at the same time to get the list concensus before proceeding.
