I went for minimal changes, same as with the change below.

Note that because valid $tz_min can be only 00, 30 or 45, see 
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset 
therefore version using floats would not introduce any rounding
errors: 0, 0.5 and 0.75 can be represented exactly as 2-base float.

Anyway below is patch with above changes:

Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Fix handling of fractional timezones in parse_date

Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.

This was caused by two mistakes:

* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
  as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
  fractional timezones).

* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
  so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
  minutes, which is always less than 60).


Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.

For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".
