The tm_gmtoff field is derived from BSD and is a GNU library extension;

So we can't use that.

Why reinventing the wheel? Using `strftime` would do the work for us, right?

Thanks. For future reference, comments like the above should go below the "---" at the bottom of the commit message. A

The time logged is currently given as localtime without any timezone information. This is confusing in various scenarios.

Examples: * If one is travelling across time-zones and the timestamps in the log appear out of order. * Comparing dates with `datediff` gives an offset by the time-zone

This patch would reformat the time-stamp to a full ISO-8601 version. It includes the 'T' separating date and time including seconds.
