There has been concern that Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601 standard. Thus, it cannot be parsed by ISO 8601 compliant parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains. The differences between the two formats are the following: - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter - a space between time and time zone - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone This commit adds a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and author dates. It uses the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers (note the uppercase 'I') and the '--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/255879 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/52414/focus=52585 for discussion.
