This is saying that as long as --date=iso-strict format is
bug-to-bug compatible with --date=iso format it is OK.

Which is fine, especially knowing the implementation ;-)

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to test this, since the commit dates change with
each test run. Maybe it's the easy way out, but on the other hand it's
better than no test at all. Check the known parts with a regex?

If you use test_tick (or test_commit, which calls it), the timestamps
are stable from run to run of the tests.
