With git 1.6.1 it it seems you need to install the locale en_US.UTF-8 otherwise it won't pass the testing during building the package. The locale comes in play with test: t9129-git-svn-i18n-commitencoding.sh compare_svn_head_with () { LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 svn log --limit 1 `git svn info --url` | \ sed -e 1,3d -e "/^-\{1,\}\$/d" >current && test_cmp current "$1" } On my building machine I don't have any locales installed, making the LC_ALL=C. Not everybody will have this locale installed nor would they want it installed on their machines. Is the locale is a dependency for git svn? Or can this test be changed? Either by not having the locale dependency or by skipping the test completely?
