Whenever I'd compile on Windows, I'd see the literal text "%cs" in the main menu instead of the commit date. I never thought much of it (at least it runs, and the date only shows up in development builds). Now that I've also seen a screenshot from Terry with it, I decided to look into it further. Looks like it's a format string that our gits on Windows aren't recognizing for whatever reason - probably because they're too old. I have git version 2.23.0.windows.1, and checking its help page for git log, under PRETTY FORMATS, %cs is missing as an option, while some other options are still there. So the option was probably added sometime between that version and 2.34.1, which is the one I have on Linux, where %cs does work.
Luckily, %cd with --date=short seems equivalent, and better supported, so we can just use that instead.
