Hi, git people.

I just noticed that '%ai' and '%ci' are accepted formats for "git log"
(nice! -- git dates should be ISO 8601 all over by default!), yet the
man page does not document them.

Of course, I would prefer to see these documented than removed! :-)

Sorry for my noise.  These *are* documented.  It is just than git man
pages are not installed by default :-).
