[PATCH 4/4] gitk: Allow displaying time zones from author and commit timestamps

From
Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
Date
Nov 19, 2010, 07:38 UTC
Message-ID
<1290152300-21393-4-git-send-email-andersk@mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<1290152300-21393-1-git-send-email-andersk@mit.edu>

Now gitk can be configured to display author and commit dates in their original timezone, by putting %z into datetimeformat in ~/.gitk.
