I ran into this bug in the past but wasn't able to reproduce it long
enough to track it down. Thanks for the fix.

It would be nice to have a test for it if it's easily narrowed down,
tricky edge cases we fix are worth testing for...

You'd write the test like this:

    git [...] 2>stderr &&
    test_i18ngrep "could not.*000000000" stderr

Or something like that. We have a lot of tests like this already, some
can be found with:

    git grep -B1 test_i18ngrep.*stderr

So something being a warning shouldn't stop us from testing for it.
