Description

Git adapter uses Time.parse() on the date string, in the format Sat Nov 8 02:20:44 2008 -0800

TIme.parse() is unable to parse the timezone in the above date correctly:

in irb:

>> Time.parse("Sat Nov 8 02:20:44 2008 -0800")
=> Sat Nov 08 02:20:44 -0600 2008

The correct output should be the following (notice the placement of the year segment)

>> Time.parse("Sat Nov 8 2008 02:20:44 -0800")
=> Sat Nov 08 04:20:44 -0600 2008

This is causing a major issue with the repository to have incorrect times.

I added --date=iso option to git commands in r1995.
That should fix the date parsing problem. Can you confirm?
