[tz] [PATCH] Turkey begins DST on 2014-03-31, not 03-30.

[Tim Parenti]

Paul,

Any particular reason this one-day deviation in 2014 is treated so
differently from the similar one-day deviation in 2011?  I don't have a
strong opinion right now as to whether these are handled as new Turkey
rules or as breaks from the EU rules, but I feel the two circumstances
should at least be handled consistently, if only for clarity's sake.
