We already have $TEST_DATE_NOW, which "test-tool date" will respect for
various commands to pretend that it's currently a particular time. I
think you'd need to add a sub-command similar to "relative" (which
directly calls show_date_relative()) which calls into the "human" code.
Note that there _isn't_ a way to have actual non-test git programs read
the current time from an environment variable (as opposed to actually
calling gettimeofday()).
