GitHub Absolute Date Bookmarklet

This bookmarklet displays absolute dates on GitHub by finding all <time-ago> and <relative-time> elements and inserting a selectable <span> containing the full timestamp before each one. Instead of seeing only relative timestamps like 3 days ago, you'll also see the exact date and time in a smaller font above the relative text. You can also select and copy it.
