[PATCH v5 2/3] gitweb: introduce localtime feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With this feature enabled, all timestamps are shown in the local
timezone instead of GMT.  The timezone is taken from the appropriate
timezone string stored in the commit object.

This improves usability if the majority of a project's contributors are
based in a single office, all within the same timezone.  It also makes
the interface more friendly to non-developers who may need to track
updates, such as program managers and supervisors.

This change does not affect relative timestamps (e.g. "5 hours ago"),
nor does it affect 'patch' and 'patches' views which already use
localtime because they are generated by "git format-patch".

Affected views include:
* 'summary' view, "last change" field (commit time from latest change)
* 'log' view, author time
* 'commit' and 'commitdiff' views, author/committer time
* 'tag' view, tagger time

In the case of 'commit', 'commitdiff' and 'tag' views, gitweb used to
print both GMT time and time in timezone of author/tagger/committer:

   Fri, 18 Mar 2011 01:28:57 +0000 (18:28 -0700)

With localtime enabled, the times will be swapped:

   Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:28:57 -0700 (01:28 +0000)

When the local time is between 00:00 and 05:59, inclusive, the entire
date string will be printed in red ("atnight" style) on the commit and
commitdiff views.  This is a change from the current behavior, in which
only the parenthesized time/tz is colored red.  This simplifies the
code, and makes the special coloring easier to notice.

v5: Change "$use_localtime" to "$commit_view" for clarity.  Apply
"atnight" style to the entire timestamp string, not just the
" (hh:mm -zzzz)" portion.  Update commit message to reflect the
latter change.
