We describe the more strict date formats accepted by GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, etc, but the --date option also allows the looser approxidate formats, as well. Unfortunately we don't have a good or complete reference for this format, but let's at least mention that it _is_ looser, and give a few examples. If we ever write separate, more complete date-format documentation, we should refer to it from here.

DATE FORMATS
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The `GIT_AUTHOR_DATE` and `GIT_COMMITTER_DATE` environment variables
|
|
support the following date formats:
|
|
|
|
Git internal format::
|
|
It is `<unix timestamp> <time zone offset>`, where `<unix
|
|
timestamp>` is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
|
|
`<time zone offset>` is a positive or negative offset from UTC.
|
|
For example CET (which is 1 hour ahead of UTC) is `+0100`.
|
|
|
|
RFC 2822::
|
|
The standard email format as described by RFC 2822, for example
|
|
`Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:13:13 +0200`.
|
|
|
|
ISO 8601::
|
|
Time and date specified by the ISO 8601 standard, for example
|
|
`2005-04-07T22:13:13`. The parser accepts a space instead of the
|
|
`T` character as well. Fractional parts of a second will be ignored,
|
|
for example `2005-04-07T22:13:13.019` will be treated as
|
|
`2005-04-07T22:13:13`.
|
|
+
|
|
NOTE: In addition, the date part is accepted in the following formats:
|
|
`YYYY.MM.DD`, `MM/DD/YYYY` and `DD.MM.YYYY`.
|
|
|
|
ifdef::git-commit[]
|
|
In addition to recognizing all date formats above, the `--date` option
|
|
will also try to make sense of other, more human-centric date formats,
|
|
such as relative dates like "yesterday" or "last Friday at noon".
