This is nothing to be embarrassed about.  I did not notice it when I
queued the series either, and I noticed it only when I tried to look at
interactions with js/diff-verbose-submodule topic(the other series does
not hardcode the style to be DATE_NORMAL).

One solution to help the compiler catch this kind of semantic crash upon
merging or applying code based on the old format_commit_message() would
have been to change its function signature (or even the name), so that it
would not go unnoticed that DATE_NORMAL that happens to be "0" is silently
interpreted as (void *)0 == NULL.
