Fixed by v1.7.3-rc0~49^2~1 (log: parse separate options like git log
--grep foo, 2010-08-05). In the meantime, one can use "git blame
--date=short x.cpp".
The confusing documentation you mention came with the initial support
for blame --date in v1.6.3-rc0~175^2 (Make git blame's date output
format configurable, like git log, 2009-02-20). Thanks for noticing.
Regards,
Jonathan
