If you supply a non-standard format to the date configuration for git
log, something like:
[log]
date = format:%Y-%m-%d %H:%Mthen, when you run 'git log' inside a script, or when using gitk (anywhere), it fails on decoding the format. fatal: unknown date format format: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M However, that format works correctly on the command line. I do not have a patch to address this issue. -Shaun
