Where is the documentation for 'feature date-format=<FORMAT>'?
Also, IIRC the fast-import list agreed that the <feature> name must
match the re ^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z-]*$. Saying that here does somewhat
help another fast-import developer to use the same stream format,
but it does not help a user to understand what features they can
ask for in their stream.

So its legal to change the data format in the middle of a stream?
I thought we agreed on fast-import list that "feature" needs to come
before any data commands, and isn't legal once data commands have
appeared in the stream. Thus it should not be possible to request
a change in the date-format once a blob or commit has been stored.
