Git 1.9.5 came with the Git icon already (the diamond with the branch in it) and now we simply have this "Windowsified". There was so much positive and uplifting feedback about it at the Git Merge (and besides, I really like the new icon myself), it is unlikely to change.

There is no explicit option in the installer to turn it off, but you can easily edit `/etc/profile.d/git-prompt.sh` to adjust it to your liking.

If you think that more people would want to have an option in the installer to switch it off, you should read https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Making-an-installer, edit /usr/src/build-extra/installer/install.iss.in after having a look at https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/commit/cbcf69b9 and open a Pull Request.

Probably. But the canonical solution is to set the `LC_ALL` or `LANG` environment variables accordingly.

Ciao, Johannes
