This patch is based on Kevin Cernekee's <cernekee@gmail.com> patch series entitled "gitweb: introduce localtime feature". While Kevin's patch changed the server side output so that the timezone was output from gitweb itself, this has a number of drawbacks, in particular with respect to gitweb-caching. This patch takes the same basic goal, display the appropriate times in a given common timezone, and implements it in JavaScript. This requires adding / using a new class, "datetime", to be able to find elements to be adjusted from JavaScript. Appropriate dates are wrapped in a span with this class. Timezone to be used can be retrieved from "gitweb_tz" cookie, though currently there is no way to set / manipulate this cookie from gitweb; this is left for later commit. Valid timezones, currently, are: "utc", "local" (which means that timezone is taken from browser), and "+/-ZZZZ" numeric timezone as in RFC-2822. Default timezone is "local" (currently not configurable, left for later commit). Fallback (should JavaScript not be enabled) is to treat dates as they have been and display them, only, in UTC. Pages affected: * 'summary' view, "last change" field (commit time from latest change) * 'log' view, author time * 'commit' and 'commitdiff' views, author/committer time * 'tag' view, tagger time Based-on-code-from: Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@eaglescrag.net> Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
