Yuck. It sounds like --date=local is really the wrong way to have
implemented it. It really should be:

  git log --date=iso --local-dates

I don't think there is currently a way to do what you want, but it is
not too late to add an option (and keep --date=local as a synonym for
--date=default --local-dates for compatibility).

Short of using --date=raw and munging the output with perl, I don't
think so.
