There was no > defnite conclusion. I do not think was involved in that part of the discussion to consider UTC vs custom zone, though. What I said is that git () { TZ=UTC command git "$@" } is simple enough that I doubt it is worth the engineering effort to either read configuration file early (which is tricky) so that setenv() can be done early in cmd_main() and/or audit the codebase widely enough (which is time consuming) to make sure that we pay attention to the configuration variable in all codepaths that matter to do the setenv().
