So, somthing wrong with our charset.

Do you know why this "suddenly" broke?

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.

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?

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
