TSVN always shows you the commit times in your current time zone.
Anything else would be misleading. Sure, that means that the times are
shown differently in summer and winter, but that's the time you're
currently referring to and that's what it shows.

The problem with the approach you might seem to suggest is that it would
show non-linear commits during the 'switch' hour (the hour the DST is
changed).
