Bug in git-log --date=short --pretty=format:"%ad"

Hi,

According to the git-log man page, we can configure how date are displayed:

--date={relative,local,default,iso,rfc}
   Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format,
   such as when using "--pretty".

But it doesn't work when a user supplied format is used:

git-log --date=short --pretty=format:"%ad" Wed May 28 13:28:35 2008 +0200 Wed May 28 13:26:14 2008 +0200 ...

instead of 2008-05-28 2008-05-28 ...

In pretty.c, when pretty_print_commit() calls format_commit_message(), dmode isn't passed as argument so format_commit_item() will never have the date format specified at the command line. This problem is present in git-1.5.5.3

Regards,

 	Christophe
