So why would you use %ci then?

           ·   %cd: committer date

           ·   %cD: committer date, RFC2822 style

           ·   %cr: committer date, relative

           ·   %ct: committer date, UNIX timestamp

           ·   %ci: committer date, ISO 8601 format

It seems obvious that all commit date specifiers apart from %cd use a
fixed format.  And %ct will output the timestamp format.
