Yeah; I think that allowing the `--date` argument (similar to how `git log` treats an option by the same name) is sensible, albeit slightly less flexible than the proposed `%(authordate:format=%Y-%m)`. For what it's worth, I don't have anything against the latter (other than that it is slightly redundant in many cases with `--date`), but it does seem easier and more worthwhile to repurpose `--date` here instead. Thanks, Taylor
