git-svn: Add --localtime option to "fetch"
By default git-svn stores timestamps of fetched commits in Subversion's UTC format. Passing --localtime to fetch will convert them to the timezone of the server on which git-svn is run. This makes the timestamps of a resulting "git log" agree with what "svn log" shows for the same repository. Signed-off-by: Pete Harlan <pgit@pcharlan.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

+--localtime;;
+ Store Git commit times in the local timezone instead of UTC. This
+ makes 'git-log' (even without --date=local) show the same times
+ that `svn log` would in the local timezone.
+
+This doesn't interfere with interoperating with the Subversion
+repository you cloned from, but if you wish for your local Git
+repository to be able to interoperate with someone else's local Git
+repository, either don't use this option or you should both use it in
+the same local timezone.
