Description sattellite 2016-10-17 09:50:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

Command "git log -n1 --pretty=format:%cd -- file" generates date in noncompatible format for "data --date". It generates date like "Tue Jul 19 11:35:05 2016 +0300", but it must be "Tue Jul 19 2016 11:35:05 +0300". Position of year is incorrect.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

git version 2.10.1


How reproducible:

Command:
date +%s --date="$(git log -n1 --pretty=format:%ad -- filename)"

Result is:
date: invalid date 'Tue Jul 19 11:35:05 2016 +0300'


Steps to Reproduce:
git log -n1 --pretty=format:%ad -- filename

Actual results:
Tue Jul 19 11:35:05 2016 +0300

Expected results:
Tue Jul 19 2016 11:35:05 +0300
Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2016-10-17 09:52:42 UTC 
according to the man page:
DATE STRING
       The  --date=STRING is a mostly free format human readable date string such as "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or even "next Thursday".  A
       date string may contain items indicating calendar date, time of day, time zone, day of week, relative time, relative date, and numbers.  An empty  string  indicates
       the beginning of the day.  The date string format is more complex than is easily documented here but is fully described in the info documentation.


git generates something what should be used within date(1).
Comment 2 Igor Gnatenko 2016-10-17 09:58:29 UTC 
sorry, my bad.
Comment 3 Kamil Dudka 2016-10-17 10:24:54 UTC 
Did you try it with --date=rfc?

You can also use 'git config --global log.date rfc' to change the default.
Comment 4 sattellite 2016-10-17 10:29:15 UTC 
Thanks, worked with --date=rfc
