Note.
Once GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and friends are set fully including timezone,
we won't even read TZ because there is no need to. But you can do
something along these lines:
test_config user.hideTimeZone true &&
(
export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=@1600000000 TZ=UTC-09 &&
git commit ... &&
git show -s --format='%aI' >output &&
echo 2020-09-13T15:26:40+03:00 >expect &&
...
I think (haven't actually tested) "git commit --date=<datestring>" option
is handled the same way, i.e. comparing these two would be a way not
to touch the environment variable.
TZ=UTC-09 git commit --date=@1600000000 ... &&
TZ=UTC-09 git -c user.hideTimeZone=true commit --date=@1600000000 ... &&
git show -s --format='%aI' HEAD~1 >output0 &&
git show -s --format='%aI' HEAD~0 >output1
