Sorry for missing the info, further update the thread

@ihmcjacky It looks like the unix date format was added in Git 2.13.7 -- can you upgrade Git?

@eamodio After upgrading to git v2.23.0, problem gone, thanks so much!

The discussion in this Issue was helpful for me as I was debugging a Git-related issue with my own software. Thanks!

In case anyone else finds this issue, the option --date=unix was added in version 2.9.4 (link to release notes):

$ git clone git@github.com:git/git.git
$ cd git
$ grep 'date=unix' Documentation/RelNotes/*
Documentation/RelNotes/2.10.0.txt:   --date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
Documentation/RelNotes/2.9.4.txt:   --date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
