Timezone designators including additional separator (`:`) are ignored. Actually zone designators in below formats are all valid according to ISO8601:2004, section 4.3.2: [+-]hh, [+-]hhmm, [+-]hh:mm Steps to reproduce the issue this patch fixes: $ mkdir /tmp/test $ cd /tmp/test $ git init $ echo 'timezone' > file.txt $ git add . $ git update-index $ git write-tree 3e168d57e1c32a4598af134430384f0587581503 # Commit the tree returned above. Give a date with colon separated # timezone $ echo "Test commit" | \ TZ=UTC GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2011-09-03T12:34:56+08:00' \ git commit-tree 3e168d57e1c32a4598af134430384f0587581503 | \ xargs git show | grep Date Date: Sat Sep 3 12:34:56 2011 +0000 while the expected result is: Date: Sat Sep 3 12:34:56 2011 +0800 ^--- This patch teaches git recognizing zone designators with hours and minutes separated by colon, or minutes are empty.
