That is better commit message that what I came with.

Thanks.

Hmmm... I wonder if default value for timezone might have been intended
to handle case of malformed date, without timezone.

This fragment

        my $epoch = shift;
        my $tz = shift || "-0000";

is from very beginnings of gitweb... and "v042" is a bit uninformative
as a commit message.  991910a (v042, 2005-08-07).

You are right, that is better solution.
