That is primarily because %d predates %[-+ ] mechanism,
I think.  It is too late to redefine what "%d" means and force all
users to update their script to use "% d" instead, unfortunately.

Format for %d includes unwanted preceding space

[Ravi (Tom) Hale]

The log --format="%d" includes preceding space:

$ git log -n1 --format="XX%dXX" HEAD
XX (HEAD -> master)XX

I know of no other % that is output in this way.

Is there a way of removing this preceding space through the format 
string, or will it need to be a code change?
