JFTR, that won't probably fix `git gui` and `gitk` as they are started directly, not via shell scripts, and hence are unaffected by whatever tweaks are done in ~/.bashrc *unless* they're started from the interactive Git bash shell and hence see that environment. I would hence just stick LC_MESSAGES=en (or LC_ALL, or LANG) into the environment variables (on the user's level) and solve this problem once and for all future programs making use of Unix-y locale setup conventions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
