Subject: git svn throws locale related error when built from source
Message-ID: <5C17B49DFD5F456B8701BE301F4B55A1@chi.orbitz.net>

Hi

I built git 1.5.6.3 manually (no package with 1.5.4+ on gutsy), and I am
getting the error below when running 'git svn rebase'. 
svn works fine on its own though.  
The default locale is set to en_US.UTF-8

svn: error: cannot set LC_ALL locale
svn: error: environment variable LANG is en_US.UTF-8
svn: error: please check that your locale name is correct

I found a workaround that works, but it would be nice to have it work
properly.
$ LANG= git svn rebase

Here is the output of the locale command:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en-US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

 
Thanks in advance.
