Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntax

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history.  If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.
