Bug reference: 12754
Logged by: David Pozsar
Email address: david.pozsar@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.0
Operating system: Windows 7
Description:

If the current time-zone has minutes and is negative, to_char('OF') prints a
negative sign before the minute part too.

Code, to reproduce:

set time zone interval '-02:30';
-- or: set timezone to -2.5;
select ts::text, to_char(ts, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSOF')
from (values (timestamptz '2015-02-10 07:05:15+00')) v(ts);

Output:

ts | to_char
---------------------------+----------------------------
2015-02-10 04:35:15-02:30 | 2015-02-10 04:35:15-02:-30

Expected output:

ts | to_char
---------------------------+---------------------------
2015-02-10 04:35:15-02:30 | 2015-02-10 04:35:15-02:30

Attached patch applied. Thanks for the clear report.
