Wow. I just tried: git show --raw --date=local with TZ=CET and TZ=right/Europe/Berlin respectively. Trippy. I get: commit 9dfdf14b3805e89aa2782458bda15b3dfae24c09 Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 16 01:41:17 2007 for the CET case, but for right/Europe/Berlin I get: commit 9dfdf14b3805e89aa2782458bda15b3dfae24c09 Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 16 01:39:54 2007 ie apparently Berlin is in a timezone of its own that is roughly one minute and 23 seconds away from CET. What the *heck*? I really don't think this is git that is confused: I get the exact same thing with "date" too: [torvalds@woody git]$ TZ=right/Europe/Berlin date ; TZ=CET date Wed Jul 18 18:52:25 CEST 2007 Wed Jul 18 18:52:48 CEST 2007 so it really *is* the tzdata that says that Berlin is not +0200, and it's not even +0159, it's something really strange with fractional minutes away from UTC. What can I say? "Those wacky Germans - they have a wonderful sense of humor"?
