Feature Request: "Recent Commits" should use `log_date_format`

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

I'm frustrated when `log_date_format` isn't used in "Recent Commits". I want absolute timestamps and not relative timestamps.

Have "Recent Commits" use `log_date_format`.

Only alternative is to always use the log view.
