Indeed, that is my problem! My index_format is defined by:
set index_format = "%4C %Z %{%e %b %G} %-15.15L (%4l / %4c) %s"
^
, and that %G means "ISO 8601 week-based year". What I need is %Y. All
from the man page for strftime. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm certain
this change will bring me back the real year for 2021-01-01 -> ...-03.
Thank you indeed!
