Comment:

 In [changeset:"48912" 48912]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="48912"
 Date/Time: Make sure `get_the_date()` and related functions return correct
 time if the format was specified as `false`.

 Technically, the `$format` argument should always be a string, but passing
 `false` used to work before [47808], so this restores backward
 compatibility.

 The list of affected functions:
 * `get_the_date()`
 * `get_the_time()`
 * `get_comment_date()`
 * `get_comment_time()`

 Props wittich, Rarst, akabarikalpesh, SergeyBiryukov.
 Fixes #51184.
