Description

We have this sweet Timeago component that humanizes a timestamp, and then keeps that data up to date.

I did not know about Timeago, when we were making the CommitDetailView and the PullRequestCommitView. It would be good to make those components use Timeago, and also see if there's anywhere else that needs to be cleaned up.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate all timestamp displays in CommitDetailView and PullRequestCommitView and replace with the Timeago component, then check for other similar places in the codebase.
