From: Jiang Xin <redacted> When users report that Git has no localized output, we need to check not only their locale settings, but also whether Git was built with GETTEXT support in the first place. Expose this information via the existing build info output by adding a "gettext: enabled|disabled" line to `git version --build-options` (and therefore also to `git bugreport`). The status is derived from whether `NO_GETTEXT` is defined at build time. Signed-off-by: Jiang Xin <redacted> --- help.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
