I have found a problem.

It turned out, that the timestamp used to determinate which commit is
later
the given date is not at 0h 0m 0s, Instead it is at the current time.

Similarly --until=<date> uses not 23h 59m 59s but also current time.

The behaviour is as designed.  "git log --since=yesterday" does the
same "as nobody said which hour and minute, we take it to mean this
time yesterday".

  In the documentation it is not described this way. It is said:

       --since=<date>, --after=<date>
           Show commits more recent than a specific date.

  Nothing is said about the time I entered the command.

You of course can say "git log --since=yesterday.midnight" if you
want to be exact ;-).

  What should I enter instead --since=2020-05-01 to have a midnight time?
