Looking at that particular commit, I also notice that the commit itself is buggered in other ways too. It says: Date: Thu Jun 6 19:42:54 2013 +0000 which surprised me due to the odd timezone, and it turns out it is pure and utter crap. Google finds the patch in patchwork, and "Show headers" there shows the expected timezone Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 15:42:54 +1000 and it turns out that apparently 'patchwork' is just making up random times, because when you download the email as an mbox, it will turn this into that corrupt and incorrect Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:42:54 -0000 thing which is apparently how you got the wrong timestamp to begin with. That odd time doesn't even make any sense that I can see, because those two times have absolutely nothing in common afaik. Unless timezones work differently down under. It looks like some west-coast local time, but then it says "-0000" which is code for "I have no f*cking clue what I'm doing". Just to make things extra exciting, patchwork actually shows yet *another* date string when you just look at the patch in the web interface: Date June 7, 2013, 5:42 a.m. and that actually seems to be the *correct* UTC version of that original email date. I have no idea what that "Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:42:54 -0000" date is, and where it came from. But it is utter shite. Can somebody please make sure that patchwork doesn't destroy timezone/date information? I'm assuming this has been going on forever, and I just noticed because I looked at that particular commit for other reasons, and went "Is Anton in Europe now?". Linus
