Subject: [Bug] git log - reports wrong date and time
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2019 18:31:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAP5K-1YJN9jt_6yEbLs=ET6M2tRLMMoio65GJMsJy69Y+LCn1g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'm using the latest version.

    $ git version
    git version 2.21.0.392.gf8f6787159e-goog

WORKS: the following prints out the date and time in my local timezone.

    $ git log '--date=format-local:%Y%m%d %H%M%S %z (%Z)' --format=%cd -n1
    20190401 170250 -0400 (EDT)

WORKS: "TZ=UTC" is respected. It prints time in UTC.

    $ TZ=UTC git log '--date=format-local:%Y%m%d %H%M%S %z (%Z)'
--format=%cd -n1
    20190401 210250 +0000 (UTC)

BROKEN: anything other than UTC reports wrong date.

    $ TZ=KST git log '--date=format-local:%Y%m%d %H%M%S %z (%Z)'
--format=%cd -n1
    20190401 210250 +0000 (KST)

The time is in UTC. Worse, %Z respects TZ=KST, which is in conflict with %z.

The symptom is same with "--date=local". It respects TZ=UTC but
nothing other than TZ=UTC.

Regards,
Chanseok
