I do not think was involved in that part of the discussion to
consider UTC vs custom zone, though.

What I said is that git () { TZ=UTC command git "$@" } is simple
enough that I doubt it is worth the engineering effort to either
read configuration file early (which is tricky) so that setenv() can
be done early in cmd_main() and/or audit the codebase widely enough
(which is time consuming) to make sure that we pay attention to the
configuration variable in all codepaths that matter to do the
setenv().
