To fix invalid timezone info in a repo I ran
git filter-branch --env-filter '
  GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=`echo ${GIT_AUTHOR_DATE}|sed s/+0000/-0800/`' HEAD

This fixed the invalid entries but the new timezone is -0700
instead of -0800. Is this expected?

Parse error. You fixed it, but it is not fixed? So what?

Fixed because it is not +0000 anymore. Surprised because the new
timezone is -0700 and not -0800.

What do you mean by "the new timezone is"? Do you mean "...is reported
as"? If so, reported by which tools?

Cannot reproduce anymore. Works as expected.

Successfully rewrote all GIT_AUTHOR_DATE timezone entries:
  -0700 -> -0800
  -0800 -> +0000
  +0000 -> -0800
