This could be useful:
$ git show -s --format=%ci $(git rev-parse HEAD)
2012-07-08 12:55:44 +0100
What is git rev-parse HEAD needed for?
How about something like this?
if [ -e $abs_top_srcdir/ChangeLog ]; then
DATEPARAM=`awk '/^[0-9]+-[0-9]+-[0-9]+/ { print "--date=" $1; exit
}' \
$abs_top_srcdir/ChangeLog`
else if [ -d $abs_top_srcdir/.git ]; then
DATEPARAM=`git show -s --format=%ci | awk '{print "--date=" $1}'`
fi
(If $DATEPARAM is not set, pod2man would fall back to its current
behavior.)
