Merge branch 'jk/date-mode-format'

Teach "git log" and friends a new "--date=format:..." option to
format timestamps using system's strftime(3).

* jk/date-mode-format:
  strbuf: make strbuf_addftime more robust
  introduce "format" date-mode
  convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
  show-branch: use DATE_RELATIVE instead of magic number
