## Message

```
time_format: Show compound "N years, M months ago" for blame entries (#57973)

The relative date format introduced in #47687 floors to whole years, so
a commit from 22 months ago is shown as "1 year ago". It would be better
to align with `git blame`'s own behavior so it can display timestamps
like "1 year, 10 months ago".

Release Notes:

months ago no longer shows as "1 year ago"
