Git and gettext

[Kim Scarborough <kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Was wondering why I need gettext to compile git, even if I tell it I 
don't need NLS. I've not needed it to compile anything else. Is this 
really necessary to run git?

If it *is* absolutely needed for some reason, can at least the configure 
script give a warning and error out when msgfmt isn't found, rather than 
letting you go through two-thirds of the make before crashing?
