Dear Maintainer,

git-buildpackage reports that a git repository is modified in an
incorrect way -

if using a localized system and git-buildpackage on a repository which
has no un-commited changes, it still reports as if it has uncommited
changes, and refuses to build. To come around this problem I can simply
use

LANG=C git-buildpackage

My guess is that it compares output with english strings to determine
if we are on a modified git repository, which of course fails with a
localized git / git-buildpackage.

git recently has this change (in 1:1.7.10-1)
   * debian/control: package git: Suggests: gettext-base for translated
     output in shell scripts.

which I believe is the source of the problem.
