Hi,

$ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL= $ uname -mrs Darwin 16.7.0 x86_64 $ git --version git version 2.19.0

In Mac’s system preferences I have three languages: English (default), Russian, Ukrainian.

After update to Git 2.19 Git’s output suddenly appeared in Russian. I can use `export LANG=en_US.UTF-8` to switch it to English back, but it’s very weird.

Did not find any related things in changelog, so assuming this is a bug.
