git-svn: Fix time zone in --localtime

wychen · Eric Wong · commit 6aa17fc69bce · 2012-02-21T21:37:31.000Z
Use numerical form of time zone to replace alphabetic time zone
abbreviation generated by "%Z". "%Z" is not portable and contain
ambiguity for many areas. For example, CST could be "Central
Standard Time" (GMT-0600) and "China Standard Time" (GMT+0800).
Alphabetic time zone abbreviation is meant for human readability,
not for specifying a time zone for machines.

Failed case can be illustrated like this in linux shell:
  &gt; echo $TZ
  Asia/Taipei
  &gt; date +%Z
  CST
  &gt; env TZ=`date +%Z` date
  Mon Dec 19 06:03:04 CST 2011
  &gt; date
  Mon Dec 19 14:03:04 CST 2011
