This can also affect for-each-ref's "%(authordate:short)" and
friends. We have this rather unfortunately detailed description:
As a special case for the date-type fields, you may specify a format for
the date by adding one of `:default`, `:relative`, `:short`, `:local`,
`:iso8601`, `:rfc2822` or `:raw` to the end of the fieldname; e.g.
`%(taggerdate:relative)`.
We would probably want to make this more vague by replacing "adding
one of..." with "adding ':' followed by date format name (see the
values the --date option to linkgit::git-rev-list[1] takes)" or
something like that.
