I do not mind Chinese in the patch text (i.e. below), but I would have
preferred the above not to be in Chinese, which I do not read---I can
guess what 文件, 添加 and 删除 are, and I can also guess that 个 and 处
are units of counting, but nevertheless...

Such a stat line would be wonderful in an all-Chinese environment
though. I'm thinking perhaps it's a good idea to support
core.officialLocale (or workingLanguage). Commands that produce stuff
for outside like format-patch would prefer core.exchangeLanguage over
$LANG. Commands in blurred zone can learn --official option to ignore
$LANG.

We can then have a shared config with core.officialLocale =
en_US.UTF-8 somewhere in git.git. Developers of multi-nation companies
would be pleased, I think.
