[PATCH v3 02/11] Documentation/config: don't list date formats

From

<c3c43d509e5e8497499d4804e083739cbade6e84.1441316394.git.john@keeping.me.uk>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1441316394.git.john@keeping.me.uk>

This list is already incomplete (missing "raw") and we're about to add new formats. Since this option sets a default for git-log's --date option, just refer to git-log(1).
