What happens in this case is that "A:" is discarded as cruft (just like dots are discarded in "git log --since=8.days.ago"), and only the "30" takes effect of filling an unspecified "date of the month" [*1*]. And then the remainder is taken from the wallclock time, and that is how the above "rev-parse" shows the same for A:30 and now, as it is the 30th of the month for me right now. $ git rev-parse --since=A:31 --until=now --max-age=1617224881 --min-age=1617138481 gives me the same time tomorrow (for the same reason that today's 30th for me). [Footnote] *1* In A:30, there is no "date of month", "month", "year", etc. specified, so we start from all unspecified, take the first number that is discovered (i.e. 30) and fill "date of the month" with it.
