Package: git

Severity: normal
It seems --date always uses UTC instead of the user's timezone.
When trying to specify the author date of a commit, I observe:
% git ci --date='08:39:39' -am "r_patch.c: FillEmptyPixels: code common to
createPatch/Texture"
[master 5734838] r_patch.c: FillEmptyPixels: code common to
createPatch/Texture
Date: Wed Apr 1 07:39:39 2015 +0000
1 file changed, 52 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-)
I expected 08:39:39 +0100, but I get 07:39:39 +0000.
Trying to force it also has no effect:
% git ci --amend --date='08:39:39 +0100'
[master ee62730] r_patch.c: FillEmptyPixels: code common to

(Noticed since the UK recently switched from GMT to BST.)
