Format git log output with sed, awk, or the like

If I have output like this (from customized git log)

d1fd022 2011-09-21 17:02:26 -0400       Replace double quotes with single quotes.
7227fe4 2011-09-21 13:57:36 -0400       Add automatic CommandTFlush to mkdir/rm/touch/cd

How could you pipe it through sed, awk or similar to achieve this output?

d1fd022 2011-09-21 17:02       Replace double quotes with single quotes.
7227fe4 2011-09-21 13:57       Add automatic CommandTFlush to mkdir/rm/touch/cd

Here the only difference is that seconds and timezone are cut out from the date. Unfortunately, git doesn't seem to support custom date formats and I'm not good with the likes of sed, so need some help.

I suggest using cut (POSIX):

[guest@pawel] ~ $ cut -c 1-24,34- foo.txt  
d1fd022 2011-09-21 17:02       Replace double quotes with single quotes.

sed 's/:[^:]* -[^     ]*//' infile

Fixed (it's not a space, it's a tab).

awk version:

awk -F':[0-9][0-9] | ' '{$4=""}1' inputFile

test:

kent$  echo "d1fd022 2011-09-21 17:02:26 -0400       Replace double quotes with single quotes.
7227fe4 2011-09-21 13:57:36 -0400       Add automatic CommandTFlush to mkdir/rm/touch/cd"|awk -F':[0-9][0-9] | ' '{$4=""}1'

d1fd022 2011-09-21 17:02        Replace double quotes with single quotes.
