When working with Bazaar, we normalize all date-based revisions to UTC.

This works so long as settings.TIME_ZONE is UTC, but if it's

anything else, revision lookup will fail. This is because the TZ

environment variable gets set to the value in settings.TIME_ZONE by

Django, and this gets inherited by Bazaar, causing all variable lookups

to be offset further by the timezone.


By forcing TZ=UTC, we can ensure that Bazaar will be able to match up

any revisions we throw its way.


Unit tests were updated to check for this case.

 








  


 
 

  
Tested that the unit tests failed without the fix both for the new tests

and for existing ones with settings.TIME_ZONE = 'US/Pacific'.


Verified all tests are fixed with this change, with both UTC and

US/Pacific set in settings_local.py.

While we're here should we be converting these to be str() instead of bytes?

      I thought about it but decided to punt on it. There's a whole lot to do for environment variables everywhere, and even with str(), _bzr_plugin_path needs to be handled right.
      

      What I've been planning is to move all these to just use Unicode strings and then have popen convert as needed, so callers don't have to care. Think I'll just do that all at once later.
