[PATCH] fix: prevent date underflow when using positive timezone offset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: darcy <acednes@xxxxxxxxx>

Overriding the date of a commit to be `1970-01-01` with a large enough
timezone for the equivalent GMT time to before 1970 is no longer
accepted.

Example: `GIT_COMMITTER_DATE='1970-01-01T00:00:00+10' git commit` would
previously be accepted, only to unexpectedly fail in other parts of the
code, such as `git push`. The timestamp is now checked against postitive
timezone values.
