By selecting a tag within gitk you can display information about it.
This information is output by using the command
'git cat-file tag <tagid>'
This outputs the *raw* information from the tag, amongst which is the

a lot easier to read and process time which it is something like:
"Mon Dec 31 14:26:11 2012 -0800"
This change will modify the display of tags in gitk like so:
