I was amending a commit message, and noticed the date in the output is
printed in 'default' format, as shown below:
$ git commit --amend --no-edit
[x bf63ada92] Test commit
Date: Mon May 16 14:25:57 2022 +0200
1 file changed, 32 insertions(+)
create mode 100644 test.txt
Since I have set log.date=iso, I was expecting the date to use the
format defined in that configuration. Is it intentional that the
default format is applied instead ?
Thanks
Damien
PS: Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the list
archive without finding anything relevant.

Yes.
That output is from "git commit", and is not from any command in the
"git log" family. Besides, it way predates the introduction of
log.date configuration variable.
This could be a XY problem. Can you tell us why you care? What
motivates you to see that date (and optionally Author when the
author is different from the current user) output in a specific
format---it is meant for human consumption so "I run 'git commit' in
a script and scrape its output" would not be it.
Thanks.
