Hi, sorry for the late reply, this got lost in the shuffle.
This issue seems reasonable, but did you test this change at all?

I needed the following additional change to get things working:
--- a/git-svn.perl
+++ b/git-svn.perl
@@ -6111,7 +6111,7 @@ sub run_pager {
sub format_svn_date {
my $t = shift || time;
- my $gmoff = get_tz($t);
+ my $gmoff = Git::SVN::get_tz($t);
return strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S $gmoff (%a, %d %b %Y)", localtime($t));
}
If there are no objections, I'll squash this and push for Junio
tomorrow.
