It is a good thing to do, but we seem to be extra conservative and
set both LC_ALL=C LANG=C (presumably by following the habit acquired
back when locale support were being introduced to various systems
with different degree, which way predates Git itself) and export
them in the main part of the test framework.

Shouldn't we be doing the same here?
