Re: Is there some env variable like GIT_LANG (like LANG)?

Strongly negative.  I don't want force people to set GIT_LANG HG_LANG
CVS_LANG and 47 different FROTZ_LANG environment variables.

I would rather just set LANG=C LC_ALL=C in the terminal I use git in and
leave everything else in whatever locale the rest of the system is in.

Ok. Accepted. Was just a question. I see your point.

Alternatively, you might like something like the following in your .bashrc:

function git
{
    LANG=C command git "$@"
}

Hmm. Looks interesting. I'll try it out. I'm not so shell'ish (more 
perl'ish) but I expect that to "rename"/"alias" git to the given 
command. If it works, it's great. Thank you.

Just make sure you include the "command" part or the function will
call itself indefinitely...

That would be like my favourite forkbomb: ":(){ :|:& };:"
WARNING: Don't type that in the shell! The system hangs
immediately, even if it looks like only smileys.

Thanks a lot. It does exactly what I want. And it's a good
trick for other applications as well.
