Hi!

I'm native German, but German git messages confuse me (yopu'll have to 

correlate them with the man pages). At the moment git uses the locale 
settings from the environment, so you can only change git's locale settings

by changing the environment (like "LANG= git ...").

OTOH Git has a flexible hierachical option setting mechanism. Why not allow

a Git language (locale) setting system-wde, user-wide, or

repository-specific.

How about
alias git='LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 git'
in your ~/.profile ?
(Of course you need to change de to the language you want )

That way no program ever needs configuration files ;-)
