Time Format Issue

It's not obvious to me from this screenshot, where in the UI did this show up?

If this is from the main tab when you are focusing a branch... then that date formatting is completely externally to lazygit!

It is running a

git log --graph --color=always --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --pretty=medium {{branchName}} --

and just passing in the branchName that you are focusing.
If you want a different behavior in that panel, you can configure what command runs via:

git:
    branchLogCmd: <insert preferred command> {{branchName}}

(make sure to include {{branchName}} so the command can build correctly)

For alternative date formats, you can check out the docs here https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-log.html
