Dates do not honour regional settings

Type: Bug
When listing Git history, the dates against each commit are in the US-only month/day/year rather than the day/month/year or year-month-day format I have set on my machines. This makes it painful to scan the list looking for a specific date.
Extension version: 0.6.20

I would certainly value this correction.
I gave someone completely wrong information last week, which I only realised today when I saw a US date format.
Software should either:
- default to ISO (YYYY/MM/DD)
- default to the format used by >98% of countries (DD/MM/YYYY)
- make it follow localised settings
- make it configurable.
But never, ever force US date format.
