With a UTC date, why would anyone care in which timezone the commit was made? Any pretty printing would most likely be prettiest if it is done relative to the timezone of the person looking at the commit record, not the person who created the record. If we do need the timezone, then I think we also need the latitude of the committer too, so that we know whether to interpret "July" as summer or winter :-) -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
