`%-d` isn't a portable construct, and it's not supported by Cygwin.
Specifically, Bash uses the system strftime function for this
formatting, and while lots of systems use glibc, which provides an
strftime that supports `%-d`, Cygwin uses newlib, which doesn't.

As ever, patches to the code will be gratefully received and
thoughtfully considered; the code for Cygwin's strftime lives at
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=newlib/libc/time/strftime.c

HTH!
