All of this applies to Monaco and Algiers.
Thanks. I assume the 1911 transition also applies to Tunis, so I installed the attached patch. This patch also spruces up the comments in the light of your previous email. For what it's worth, tzdb still has quite a few transitions that work the way that 1911 Paris did in tzdb 2020a - that is, clocks move back from midnight to some time like 23:28:37. That "23:28:37" example is taken from Tunis in 1881; other examples include Anchorage in 1900 and Buenos Aires in 1920. These transitions are taken from Shanks, who lists "old time" for transitions and who is not always reliable. Unfortunately I doubt whether the transitions in Anchorage etc. will be documented as well as Paris's stopped clocks....
