Can we have move times go past 60 seconds on analysis?

When you do the analysis feature and check move times, if someone spent at least 60 seconds on a move, it will say it was 60 seconds, even if it was 20 minutes!

I wonder if you guys could fix this bug sometime? Thanks.
I think that the maximum move time should be increased to 3 minutes. This is because FIDE tournament time controls of 90+30 for 40 moves turns out to be approximately 2.75 minutes per move.
#2 thanks for digging up that post for me, a correction: instead of 90 million games, it's about 140 million games now :)

Also my math is probably wrong, and is probably double the size. Increasing to 3min with 1 second increment would be about 8GB. However I'm not sure how important this point is anymore, at the time I wrote it the server disk was close to full and the donations wasn't overflowing like they are now (if i remember correctly) :).

However, migrating to a new scheme might not be easy and needs to be carefully defined so we don't need to change it again.
