In order to minimize the differences in the footer.

Asciidoc automatically generates a date with format '%Y-%m-%d', while
asciidoctor '%F'.

%F is short yyyy-mm-dd date. AFAIK, it is the same effect as `%Y-%m-%d`.

Right, I noticed I was wrong when trying to use -adocdate in
asciidoctor. It's actually ignored.

The date format probably comes from docbook. The commit message needs to
be updated.

quoted

I personally prefer the latter, so only modify it for diff purposes.

Fixes tons of these:

-Git omitted                       01/01/1970                        GIT-ADD(1)
+Git omitted                       1970-01-01                        GIT-ADD(1)

  
So, the asciidoctor generated date was the bottom one, while the asciidoc
counterpart was the above one, right?

Yeap.

The above one, however, was actually %m/%d/%Y.

Indeed, the commit message is inaccurate.
