Not your fault, but "internal raw Git format X format" sounds a bit
clunky.
shows the date in `%s %z` format (seconds since 1970-01-01
00:00:00 UTC, space, timezone as sign and four digits)
or something like that? I suspect %s is not a POSIX-kosher strftime
conversion specifier, so from that point of view, perhaps making the
text the authoritative description and demote the format string as a
comment to help those who know strfmt, i.e.
shows the date as seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC,
space, timezone as sign and four digits (i.e. as if the
timestamp were formatted with `strftime("%s %z")`).
perhaps?
