Hello list,

I'm from Germany, but nevertheless I prefer my Git to talk English, esp. Gitk and Git Gui. I appreciate that people translate it into so many languages, but personally I'm totally helpless with a German git gui.

I know I can set LANG=en_US (that's what I actually do), but that affects other applications as well. Is there some environment variable like GIT_LANG or so? According to the manpages, there isn't.

What would you think of it?
