how to specify timestamp format for "git-annotating" file

In intellij IDEA, when you have GIT VCS, you can do: -> Git -> Annotate, which yields in-gui variant of git blame.

But for some reason the produced timestamps does not respect git settings for some reason (well at least what git blame produces is different), "right-clicking annotation, ->options-> show commit timestamp" does nothing, and I did not find possibility to specify format of this.

Motivation: The default format misses time, and uses US date formatting, which is "for its stupid famous order", sorry, I meant famous for its stupid order, and it always takes me 10x the time to figure out, what date is it.

Is there possibility to have there iso timestamp?

  • Go to Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Date Formats
  • enable the Override system date and time format checkbox.
  • Enter something like yyyy MM dd kk:mm in the Date Format text field.

This will show your preferred time format (including time stamp if you want) in the Git Blame Annotations.
