The first number is the seconds since the UNIX epoch. A standard time_t... in base 10. :-) The second number is the timezone offset from GMT, in HHMM format. So -0700 is 7 hours behind GMT. Its the same format as what appears in a Git commit object for either the author or committer line. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
