Besides being awkward in scripts (which will not respect the alias and use a different language!), that variable will also be inherited by programs git spawns. So the editor, for example, may end up in the wrong language. I think respecting core.locale would make sense (probably the change would go into git_setup_gettext(), but you may have to fight with the setup code over looking at config so early in the process). However, I think the original question is not one of localizing git, but rather of having it _not_ localized (avoiding the German translations). There is a hack you can do that for that, which is to set GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR to something nonsensical (like "/"), which will mean git cannot find the .po files, and just uses the builtin messages. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
