Please CC me, I'm not subcribed here. > Cornelius It's not a bug, it's a feature ;) In fact, git show used to ignore format specifiers for the tag part and apply them to the commit part only. Since ea718e6 (show <tag>: reuse pp_user_info() instead of duplicating code, 2009-01-02) (which is in v1.6.2) it applies the format to both, which is why there is no tag date unless you ask for it (or use the default format).
