[PATCH v2 3/3] gitk: Allow displaying time zones from author and commit timestamps

From
Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
Date
May 30, 2011, 03:06 UTC
Message-ID
<alpine.DEB.2.02.1105292305390.23145@dr-wily.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<alpine.DEB.2.02.1105291740410.23145@dr-wily.mit.edu>

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