I wasn't sure if we wanted to get into that. Your documentation update (with an empty string) says only that they are "handled internally". While it is true that we aren't handling %Z internally anymore, the point is that we try to do something sane which may or may not match what your system strftime() does. And that continues to be the case after my patch. So unless we are going to give the full breakdown of when %Z is empty and when it is not, I prefer to leave it unspecified. > > I don't have a Windows system to test this on, but from the output Dscho > > provided earlier, I believe this should pass. > > The first patch applies with some fuzz on master of Git for Windows, the > second one applies cleanly.
