Interesting side note: I just realized that t6050-replace.sh does indeed
contain

	test_i18ngrep "Needed a single revision" err

so I wonder why that works.

Why should it not work? If GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON is on, it pretends
success; otherwise, it does a regular grep.

Ah, right, I vaguely remembered that Duy offered patches to do something
funny with a pseudo locale (I never understood why not go for the much
simpler ROT-13), and I guess that effort never went anywhere.

So essentially the test case in t6050 will succeed under GETTEXT_POISON
for the wrong reasons.

Thanks for explaining this to me!

Ciao,
