Choose a different color for dates and imitate a 'temperature cool down'
depending upon age.
Originally I had planned to have the temperature cooldown dependent on
the age of the project or file for example, as that might scale better,
but that can be added on top of this commit, e.g. instead of giving a
date, you could imagine giving a percentage that would be the linearly
interpolated between now and the beginning of the file.

is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id,
author name, date and timezone). Defaults to cyan.
+color.blame.highlightRecent::
+ This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
+ on age of the line.
++
+This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,
+starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest.
+The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced
+before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.
++
+Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g.
+2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
++
+It defaults to "blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red", which colors
+everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and
+one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
+colored red.

This variable determines the default value for variables such
as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
