[issue1014] commit does not handle timezone correctly

[Julio Castillo]

New submission from Julio Castillo <juliocc at gmail.com>:

My current timezone is GMT -0430 but whenever I make a commit hg log reports it
as -0530. It appears that commit (or log) does not handle "fractional" timezones
correctly. 

I'm using version 0.9.5; these are the steps to reproduce this bug.

$ export TZ=America/Caracas
$ date --rfc-2822
Mon, 03 Mar 2008 23:15:49 -0430
$ hg init
$ echo hello > test
$ hg add test
$ hg commit -m "-0430 (Caracas)"
$ export TZ=America/La_Paz
$ date --rfc-2822
Mon, 03 Mar 2008 23:45:49 -0400
$ echo bye > test
$ hg commit -m "-0400 (La Paz)"
$ hg log
