That wouldn't take care of existing scripts, and new scripts should
use LC_ALL=C to defend themselves when they don't want to be impacted
by i18n.

Do you have some other reason in mind that a script should choose to
pass --plumbing here?  Is it an output format flag specific to 'git
reflog expire', in the spirit of status --porcelain, or a more generic
"I care about output stability" flag that spans multiple commands?
