Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] hideTimezone: add a user.hideTimezone config
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 23:21:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200930232138.3656304-2-shengfa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200930232138.3656304-1-shengfa@google.com>

Users requested hiding location in the world from source control
trail. This is an implementation to read user.hideTimezone in
cmd_commit and set timezone to UTC if it's true.

Added a brief explanation of the new field in Documentation
and added tests for true/false and reset-author
