Looks like you are right. The seconds are already in UTC format, so I think "git log" is wrong to pass the UTC seconds in to "date", and then tell date that it was done in the original timezone. I think it would be nice to use the TZ data to show the thing in the timezone of the committer, though. Dunno how to do that, maybe something like TZ=$tz date -d "1970-01-01 + $sec sec" or whatever. Sadly, it looks like "date" doesn't understand timezone syntax like that - looks like TZ has to be in the long machine-unreadable format like "US/Pacific" etc. Stupid (either TZ or me - maybe I just don't know what the right format is).
