I think that will be what is going to happen anyway in the real world. We'd spend a reasonable effort for localization (and I personally am perfectly OK if the effort for the initial round is "almost zero"), but make sure C-locale is left as an escape hatch. > I had another thought, actually, that this is maybe semantically similar > problem to the malformed config we discussed earlier in the review.

I suspect that "git --safemode" would always end up being buggy than running "git" under LANG=C LC_ALL=C GIT_CONFIG=/dev/null or something like that ;-) Wouldn't it defeat more than 30% of the value of the tool if we do not read and report the contents of the configuration file(s)?
