Datepicker min-date Ignores Format

[matt-major-zz]

Angular: 1.3.2
Angular UI: 0.12.1

I'm formatting my dates to the format dd/MM/yyyy (UK-style) and trying to use these for the min-date attribute on the DatePicker directive.

This directive is reading the date in the format of MM/dd/yyyy, which causes (for example) April 5th to be read as May 4th.

I believe the directive should use the format provided in the datepicker-popup attribute for both min-date and max-date and default to the US style only when a custom format isn't provided.

Pretty sure this is a duplicate - have you tried against master?

@matt-major Please add a plunkr demonstrating your issue.

@rvanbaalen sure, http://plnkr.co/edit/hxEiaVDvGyRheOV6VzCA?p=preview

As you can see with this demo, I'm passing in the min-date of 05/04/2015, and the data-datepicker-popup format as "dd/MM/yyyy" as this date is in UK format.

The directive however just creates a new Date from 05/04/2015 with no localization/formatting which results in May 4th rather than April 5th.

My PR #3606 will cover this one. It considers the format when parsing the min-date and max-date.
