Subject: bisect does not respect 'log.date'

Folks,

I am running git version 2.43.0 and consider the following config:
> $ git config --system --list
> core.eol=native
> log.date=iso-strict
> color.ui=auto

So date output looks fine with 'log' and 'show':

> $ git log
> commit ba1454e15619a44fe66d86f59c766c0cc25323eb (HEAD)

now let's bisect:

> $ git bisect start HEAD HEAD~4
> Binäre Suche: danach noch 1 Commit zum Testen übrig (ungefähr 1 Schritt)
> [ef40b6d00c4bdaa23960b5dc0eaac28cce758d29] Update minimum APR version in a few more places
...fast forward

The config for date format is ignored. Is uses the default value.

An oversight or bug?
