That being said, I do not think it would be wrong to have a date-mode
that just showed strftime("%c"), or some other arbitrary strftime
string.  You could then set log.date as appropriate for human
consumption.

Yes please :)

 --date=lc
 --date=lc_time
 --date=locale

all spring to mind as valid options

Here's a patch series that allows `--date=format:%c`, which is the same
thing. We could possibly do `--date=locale` as syntactic sugar, I guess.

  [1/3]: show-branch: use DATE_RELATIVE instead of magic number
  [2/3]: convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
  [3/3]: introduce "format" date-mode
