I looked into this. The dates you see on GitHub's web UI are actually parsed by Rugged/libgit2. The libgit2 parser is slightly more forgiving in this instance; if it sees a broken timezone, it will leave the timestamp intact, and only omit the timezone. Whereas git says "no, it's broken, and the timestamp cannot be trusted". I think both are equally valid strategies, and I do not even think it is a problem that they diverge between the two implementations. I'd be OK with a patch to make git handle errors in each independently, assuming it is not too invasive. -Peff -- 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
