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 VS Code version: Code 1.82.2 (abd2f3db4bdb28f9e95536dfa84d8479f1eb312d, 2023-09-14T05:51:20.981Z) OS version: Linux x64 6.2.0-33-generic snap Modes:

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:

  1. default to ISO (YYYY/MM/DD)
  2. default to the format used by >98% of countries (DD/MM/YYYY)
  3. make it follow localised settings
  4. make it configurable.

But never, ever force US date format.
