That is one reason why "core.local=C" (repo specific) and "git -c
core.locale=C" (can be used in an alias) would be useful ;)

This looks OK.

I noticed though that the man pages of git-log and git-rev-list still
look more different than they would need to, e.g. regarding the way
limitting by paths is explained more prominently with git-log. But that
may just be being more user friendly for git-log's man page than for git
rev-list's, which is OK.
