[PATCH] t/t0006: specify timezone as EST5 not EST to comply with POSIX

From: Brandon Casey <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:49:05
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Brandon Casey <redacted>

POSIX requires that both the timezone "standard" and "offset" be specified
in the TZ environment variable.  This causes a problem on IRIX which does
not understand the timezone 'EST'.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <redacted>

I guess 'EST' is an alias? for EST5EDT?  Linux and Solaris both grok EST
just fine.  POSIX says the offset is required.  I don't see any mention of
aliases.
