I can confirm it if I enable DST on my machine (I usually run my 
machines on CET all-year, to avoid these kind of issues):

   $ echo $TZ
   Europe/Oslo
   $ git commit -m b
   [master dee7ec1] b
    1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
    create mode 100644 b.txt
   $ git show --pretty=fuller

So the datetime is correct, it's just the timezone that is wrong 
(08:05+0100 = 09:05+0200).

   $ git --version
   git version 2.4.0.rc1
