Feature Request: add \gitDate command

[daixtrose]

It seems that all information is already there:

• \gitVer yields the hashtag (I am happy that it's without the #)
• \versionBox yields a combination of hashtag, date and other things

What I need is:

\gitDate which should yield 2020-11-16

Also a version option for the dirty flag would be cool

Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't quite understand your proposal for the "dirty" flag: currently, gitVer will give you something like Manuscript version: #ab7c83-dirty - 2020-11-16 17:34 if your working copy is "dirty". Are you suggesting to have the option to remove the -dirty part?
