title: Why does Git have a tea time?
body: <p>In the <a href="https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/date.c#L958" rel="noreferrer">date.c</a> file in Git's source code, I note the following structure of special time names:</p>
  
  <pre><code>static const struct special {
      const char *name;
      void (*fn)(struct tm *, struct tm *, int *);
  } special[] = {
      { "yesterday", date_yesterday },
      { "noon", date_noon },
      { "midnight", date_midnight },
      { "tea", date_tea },
      { "PM", date_pm },
      { "AM", date_am },
      { "never", date_never },
      { "now", date_now },
      { NULL }
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand the utility (somewhat) of most of these, but why have a "tea" time (it evaluates to 17:00 hours)? Is this just an <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Easter_egg#Noun" rel="noreferrer">Easter egg</a> of sorts?</p>
