Well ... not if you compare right/Europe/Berlin vs right/CET jp3@neutron: ~>TZ=right/CET date '+%H:%M:%S %z'; TZ=right/Europe/Berlin date '+%H:%M:%S %z' 19:49:45 +0200 19:49:45 +0200 but, I suspect that the following is the underlying cause of the problem? jp3@neutron: ~>TZ=right/UTC date '+%H:%M:%S %z'; TZ=UTC date '+%H:%M:%S %z' 17:51:32 +0000 17:51:55 +0000 Is git working internally in TZ=UTC? -- Julian --- Homer: We always have one good kid and one lousy kid.
