RTFM.
`%G'
year corresponding to the ISO week number. This has the same
format and value as `%Y', except that if the ISO week number (see
`%V') belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used
instead. It is normally useful only if `%V' is also used; for
example, the format `%G-%m-%d' is probably a mistake, since it
combines the ISO week number year with the conventional month and
day. This is a GNU extension.
