Message-ID: <1235790705-12903-1-git-send-email-bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca>

```
When %z was removed from the strftime call and subsituted with a
local gmt offset calculation, time() was no longer the default for
all time functions as it was with the previous localtime(shift).
This is now corrected so that format_svn_time behaves as it used to.

Thanks Ben,

I'm pretty sure there's another bug lurking in there with the "info"
command, but this should at least cleanup the output as a stopgap
measure until somebody has time to properly fix it.
