That is one reason why "core.local=C" (repo specific) and "git -c
core.locale=C" (can be used in an alias) would be useful ;)

Or "LC_ALL=C LANG=C git format-patch ...".

The only problem is I forget to do that from time to time (and doing
that bothers me too)

It does not bother me (even though I do not read Vietnamese), but
this has been brought up a few times, and we may want to revert the
i18n of the diffstat summary.  It does not seem to add much value to
the system but annoys people.

That's one step towards a better interface for non English speaking
users. "git log" interface for example still shows Author, Commit,
Date in English and these strings are shared with format-patch.
Reverting back to English to me is a step back.

This brings back to a series I posted about two weeks ago and got no comments

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/204285

I think it's a reasonable approach. Use English for machine interface,
otherwise a native language if available.

After all, the "upstream" diffstat
does not localizes this string (I just checked diffstat-1.55 with
Jan 2012 timestamp).
