Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] adding user.hideTimezone for setting UTC timezone
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 23:21:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200930232138.3656304-1-shengfa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAEOYnAQYMrNAe9s1V-0DVLdL-B_KpHMDP5e=yRnbCkMWdrvFHQ@mail.gmail.com>

Discussed with Jonathan and Junio regarding whether we should support
letting user specify timezone or restricted to UTC only. There was no
defnite conclusion. I think it's a good idea to start with this
implementation which might result in the change landing or e.g. a
documentation change.

The patch add checking for user.hideTimezone and change environment
variable TZ to UTC in the beginning of cmd_commit if it's true. As a
result, when calculating timezone offset in datestamp(date.c) would result in 0.
