Hi.
I discovered that git's date parser does not understand "Z" to mean
the "UTC" timezone. This is unfortunate, because the use of "Z" is
prescribed by ISO 8601.
I made a small patch to add "Z" as an alias for "UTC", which enables
standard ISO 8601 timestamps to be parsed correctly. Also, it fixes
a bug that at least three characters of the timezone name had to match,
which is of course impossible when the name of the timezone is shorter
than three characters. There was already such a timezone before ("NT")
which could not be selected due to the bug.
The second patch, which is perhaps less essential, adds support for
the remaining numerical timezone indicators defined by ISO 8601 not
already supported by git (only +-hhmm was supported, but ISO 8601
also specifies that +-hh:mm and +-hh are ok as well).
Thanks
// Marcus
