TimeSpan's should show the time breakdown about humanizer HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @robdmoore,

I see your point and while this is more logical, I think the current implementation might be more desired. This is parallel to DateTime.Humanize and the thinking is that a human doesn't quite care about the minutes when we're talking about a couple of days.

I guess what we could do is to provide an overload that will return the detailed value.

Completely agree - I can think of situations where you would want both. I wonder if we can somehow provide the accuracy you are interested in e.g. hours vs mins vs seconds?

No real opinion from me.

As a side note, if accuracy matters (it probably does), there should always
be a secondary piece of information that shows the full timestamp.
An example of where this is not done (and frustrates me several times a
week) is the TFS build results views.
E.g. Build logs say finished x minutes ago, even when I have that build
result open in a tab and it's been there for hours. List of results that
have a bunch of builds where the only info is the date, without a time is
also an annoyance.

I wonder if this guidance would be usefully put somewhere nearby to this in
the documentation of these features.
