Yes.

That output is from "git commit", and is not from any command in the
"git log" family.  Besides, it way predates the introduction of
log.date configuration variable.

This could be a XY problem.  Can you tell us why you care?  What
motivates you to see that date (and optionally Author when the
author is different from the current user) output in a specific
format---it is meant for human consumption so "I run 'git commit' in
a script and scrape its output" would not be it.

Thanks.
