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?
