Thanks for this alternate solution.
You are welcome.
It would be much better if the following construct worked:
#+DATE: src_sh{git show -s --date=short --format="%cd [%h]" HEAD}
Unfortunately, it does not. This behavior (or misbehavior, I do not
know) can be traced down to the org-element-context function. Suppose
that you have the following content in a org-mode buffer:
#+DATE: src_sh{date}
src_sh{date}
With the cursor just after the underscore in the #+DATE line,
org-element-context returns:
(keyword
(:key "DATE" :value "src_sh{date}" :begin 1 :end 22 :post-blank 0
:post-affiliated 1 :parent nil))
On the other hand, with the cursor just after the underscore in the next
line, org-element-context returns (as it should be):
(inline-src-block
(:language "sh" :value "date" :parameters nil :begin 22 :end 34
:post-blank 0
:parent (paragraph (:begin 22 :end 35 :contents-begin 22 :contents-end 35
:post-blank 0
:post-affiliated 22 :parent nil))))
This is the reason why Org-babel does not evaluate the inline source
block in the #+DATE line.
Best,
