Your description leaves a little to be desired (here and in the patches themselves). I had to read the patch to figure out that these are formatting specifiers for the date format "short".
That being said, I think this is probably reasonable just for the sake of completeness (and I doubt we are wasting a useful formatting combo, since %a* is likely to remain dedicated to author information). I wonder if there should be "%al" for "local".
However, it makes me wonder even more if '%ad' should simply respect the --date= parameter (this wouldn't allow you to mix and match dates in a single format, but I don't think that is what is desired). Or whether we should have some syntax for "%ad(short)" or something, where the argument would be handed off to the date format parser. But that is probably overengineering.

PS Junio, I think this will make your "git one" alias much shorter. :)
