We perhaps can use "test-tool date timestamp", like so
        check_human_date $(test-tool date timestamp "18000 seconds ago") ...

or moving the part that munges 18000 into the above form inside
check_human_date helper function, e.g.

        check_human_date () {
                commit_date=$(test-tool date timestamp "$1 seconds ago")
                commit_date="$commit_date +0200"
                 expect=$2
                ...
        }

which would let us write

        check_human_date 432000" $THIS_YEAR_REGEX  # 5 days ago


Just a quick bikeshed: if used, would this have a year end 5 day 
roll-over error potential, or will it always use the single date?

(I appreciate it is just suggestion code, not tested)
