SourceForge CVS browsing used a scheme where recent commits are reported as "n hours", less recent as "n days", still less recent as "n weeks", and really old files as "n months".

One the release happens, there will be a set of tests for 1_30_0 which will grow old, yet there is nothing wrong with that. I'm wondering if the hour/day/week/month scheme would work better, particularly for those release tests?
