JFTR, that won't probably fix `git gui` and `gitk` as they are started
directly, not via shell scripts, and hence are unaffected by whatever
tweaks are done in ~/.bashrc *unless* they're started from the
interactive Git bash shell and hence see that environment.

I would hence just stick LC_MESSAGES=en (or LC_ALL, or LANG) into the
environment variables (on the user's level) and solve this problem once
and for all future programs making use of Unix-y locale setup
conventions.
