I am lazy and can't remember timezones. So I want to use 'date -d' to
convert from the date in a git commit to local time.
Date: Thu May 17 17:04:43 2018 +1000
$ date -d 'Thu May 17 17:04:43 2018 +1000'
date: invalid date ‘Thu May 17 17:04:43 2018 +1000’
$ date -d 'Thu May 17 17:04:43+1000'
Thu May 17 03:04:43 EDT 2018
I don't know why git chose this format over any other of the myriad date
formatting standards we have, but it doesn't seem like it would be too
hard to recognise this format in addition to all the others.

I also have no idea what the world needed another bizarro date format. I
suggest configuring git log.date=iso or --date=iso
