Hello,

The output of `date "+%m"` in july is "07". It is possible to remove the
leading zero by using the following syntax `date "+%-m"` which will output "7".

I haven't been able to find this in date(1), strftime(3), strptime(3).

I found it by looking gnu date man page and trying it on FreeBSD.
