[PATCH] git-svn fix to avoid using strftime %z

%z isn't available on all platforms in the date formatting routines. Provide a workalike capability that should be more portable.

This is the reworked version that was requested.  It drops %z completely
from the strftime call in favour of the hand rolled version.  All tests
still pass on Linux and Solaris.
