Isn't it the other way around? Traditionally you wrote
$ git show -g @{0}
$ git show -g @{now}
to explicitly ask for either time or number, but without @{which}, the
presense of --date=<foo> for some unknown reason declares that you want
time for reflogs, too. I personally think that is an insane behaviour,
but that is probably already stuck in people's fingers.
$ git show -g --date=short master
$ git show -g --date=short master@{0}
$ git show -g --date=short master@{now}
I think what is broken, if anything, is the second case (i.e. with --date,
you cannot even ask for entry numbers).
You can get times in default date formats just fine.
