Today I found out that both %cd and %ad pretty print format specifications honour the --date option as shown in:

$ git log --abbrev=8 --date=short --pretty="%h (%s, %cd)" -n1 5bdb1c4e (Merge pull request #245 from kblees/kb/master/fix-libsvn-address-conflict, 2014-08-16) $ git log --abbrev=8 --date=short --pretty="%h (%s, %ad)" -n1 5bdb1c4e (Merge pull request #245 from kblees/kb/master/fix-libsvn-address-conflict, 2014-08-16)

But the documentation did not mention that.

Funny that we already have the same text for %ad.  Thanks.
