git-subtree with log.date=relative

Dear git Developers,

When setting log.date=relative in ~/.gitconfig, all "git subtree push"
commands fail with errors like this:

git push using:  ../../repos/second master
fatal: invalid date format: 8 minutes ago
Can't copy commit 10827bbf18aa17108e07039d9c125000889a4365

I believe git subtree is making a call to git log and relying on the
dates in the output being machine-readable instead of human-readable.
It should pass --date=default if it wants to ensure the default date
format is used.
