I only meant that if it is very useful but the kinks not ironed out, releasing with the feature disabled by default is a way to cope. An even better way is to get experience with the feature in next or pu until it is ready to be shipped enabled by default, so you can forget I said anything. :) > But since the semantics of Git will be the same unless users > explicitly request translations (by setting the LC_* variables in > their OS)=20 Sometimes I am on machines with LANG set to fr_FR.UTF-8. If plumbing is going to be giving _all_ its other messages in English, I would rather it give the system call errors in English, too. But this is not a strong preference, and it is possible we would want to let all messages to stderr be translated, making this moot. Thanks for the explanations. Jonathan
