 ### Changed
 
 - Changes the sorting of remotes in the _Repositories_ view to sort the default remote first
+- Changes relative date formatting of the last fetched date of repositories in the _Repositories_ view to instead use an absolute format and will additionally add the time of day if less than a day has passed. This avoids having to periodically refresh the repository (which causes all of its children to re-render) in order to update the relative time
