I don't think this is correct.  The file "git_link" refers to .git that is
not a directory but is a regular file whose contents is "gitdir: $path"
and that should _never_ be localized, so the patch to die() message is Ok,
but the string given to fprintf(fp, ...) is _not_.

And t0001 should compare the expected output with "gitdir: $path"
regardless of the poisoning.
