author's). If `-local` is appended to the format (e.g.,
`iso-local`), the user's local time zone is used instead.
+
+--
`--date=relative` shows dates relative to the current time,
e.g. ``2 hours ago''. The `-local` option has no effect for
`--date=relative`.
-+
+
`--date=local` is an alias for `--date=default-local`.
-+
+
`--date=iso` (or `--date=iso8601`) shows timestamps in a ISO 8601-like format.
The differences to the strict ISO 8601 format are:
- a space between time and time zone
- no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone
-+
`--date=iso-strict` (or `--date=iso8601-strict`) shows timestamps in strict
ISO 8601 format.
-+
+
`--date=rfc` (or `--date=rfc2822`) shows timestamps in RFC 2822
format, often found in email messages.
-+
+
`--date=short` shows only the date, but not the time, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
-+
+
`--date=raw` shows the date as seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01
00:00:00 UTC), followed by a space, and then the timezone as an offset
from UTC (a `+` or `-` with four digits; the first two are hours, and
Note that the `-local` option does not affect the seconds-since-epoch
value (which is always measured in UTC), but does switch the accompanying
timezone value.
-+

+`--date=human` shows the timezone if the timezone does not match the
+current time-zone, and doesn't print the whole date if that matches
+(ie skip printing year for dates that are "this year", but also skip
+the whole date itself if it's in the last few days and we can just say
+what weekday it was). For older dates the hour and minute is also
+omitted.
+
`--date=unix` shows the date as a Unix epoch timestamp (seconds since
1970). As with `--raw`, this is always in UTC and therefore `-local`
has no effect.
-+
+
`--date=format:...` feeds the format `...` to your system `strftime`,
except for %z and %Z, which are handled internally.
Use `--date=format:%c` to show the date in your system locale's
preferred format. See the `strftime` manual for a complete list of
format placeholders. When using `-local`, the correct syntax is
`--date=format-local:...`.
-+

`--date=default` is the default format, and is similar to
`--date=rfc2822`, with a few exceptions:
-
+--
- there is no comma after the day-of-week
- the time zone is omitted when the local time zone is used
the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
