I dunno. While this definitely would be useful for some folks (mostly old-school, like we do) but the problem with this setting is that it's not specific to Git and can result in unpredictable behaviour in other parts of the system. Hence this option, if implemented, should somehow be clearly marked as system-wide in the installer UI. 1. https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Locale-Environment-Variables.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
