I use "retrieve" because I think they should be there but actually missing.
But If it's not appropriate here I will change another word like "add".

Does git have any NOT "C" Locale string?
Another doublt is I found something like in:
File: ./contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
923 LANG=C LC_ALL=C git merge -s help 2>&1
I think LC_ALL=C will override LANG=C in these cases, so I think
`LC_ALL=C git merge -s help 2>&1` is OK here.

Helpful, fill in blind spots.
Actually, in tr2 some text are printed as capitalized the first word. Is this
entry appropriate for this situation? Whether we should unify the both?
