in git's gettext.c, it not allow CTYPE="" for all domain, so we will set
this one individually. In this ex. I set it for libc:

$ git diff

diff --git a/gettext.c b/gettext.c
index 71e9545..abd3978 100644
--- a/gettext.c
+++ b/gettext.c

@@ -115,6 +115,7 @@ static void init_gettext_charset(const char *domain)
        setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
        charset = locale_charset();
        bind_textdomain_codeset(domain, charset);
+       bind_textdomain_codeset("libc", charset);
        setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
 }

Do you know why this "suddenly" broke?  The long comment in
init_gettext_charset() suggests that the *existing* code is there to
handle exactly this problem, and apparently it doesn't.  Why?  Has libc
moved the perror() strings into a separate domain in some version?

I think git set CTYPE="C" for libc, so charset become  7-bit ASCII, but
it don't set LC_MESSAGES="C" for libc and libc will get this one from
system variable.

See setlocale(3) [1]
I'm a newbie in GIT. I'm not sure about git work correctly [2] if set
git's charset to same with system.
I don't think libc moved perror() string in separate domain. It use its
own domain.

[1]  http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/setlocale.3.html
[2]  incorrect if some function need work in ASCII mode
