[issue209] convert-repo handles timezone incorrectly

[Eric Jaffe]

New submission from Eric Jaffe <jaffe.eric at gmail.com>:

I compared the timezones in the hg linux mirror
<http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6/?cs=4fa8e54c02d6> to the original
<http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c19f7a9e1ac45b57375d51f033b02deca50f4d3f>
and noticed that they were different. The time is correct, but the timezone is
the inverse of what it should be (-0700 to +0700, for example).

The problem is in line 75 or 76 of contrib/convert-repo, but I'm not sure how to
patch it.

    tzs, tzh, tzm = tz[-5:-4] + "1", tz[-4:-2], tz[-2:]
    tz = int(tzs) * (int(tzh) * 3600 + int(tzm))
