Work around BSD whose typeof(tv.tv_sec) != time_t

According to POSIX, tv_sec is supposed to be a time_t, but OpenBSD (and FreeBSD, too) defines it to be a long, which triggers a type mismatch when a pointer to it is given to localtime_r(). Acked-by: Jeff King <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
