Re: Stable ab/i18n branch

Hi again,

While that's not a perfect solution I think it's the best we're going
to get for the time being. I'm pretty convinced that if I tried to
make git itself LC_CTYPE-safe as part of this already huge series it'd
never get merged. Having messages with question marks from strerror()
on certain platforms is an OK compromise in my opinion.

The question marks[1] are what I was referring to.  Consider this from
the point of view of someone working on the Debian package: would
users consider that an appropriate or positive change for squeeze+1?
(Hint: not if it doesn't come with some benefit in their locale, no.)

I suspect making git work with other LC_CTYPE would not actually be
too hard[2].  Such fixes are useful for futureproofing and increased
sanity anyway --- they do not have to be part of the l10n branch imho.
