I was amending a commit message, and noticed the date in the output is printed in 'default' format, as shown below: $ git commit --amend --no-edit [x bf63ada92] Test commit Date: Mon May 16 14:25:57 2022 +0200 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test.txt Since I have set log.date=iso, I was expecting the date to use the format defined in that configuration. Is it intentional that the default format is applied instead ? Thanks Damien PS: Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the list archive without finding anything relevant.
