[PATCH 0/2] Locally alias "latin-1" to "ISO-8859-1"

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

Some systems do not seem to ship "latin-1" as a valid locale, even
though they happilly accept more modern official name "ISO-8859-1".
Naturally, "iconv -f iso-8859-1" succeeds while "iconv -f latin-1"
fails on such a system.

We already have in utf8.c to accomodate overly strict iconv_open()
that does not like various spellings of UTF-8 when our users spell
it differently from the most official "UTF-8" form.  Piggyback on
the mechanism and teach outselves that "latin-1" used to be the way
to say "ISO-8859-1".

I feel dirty for doing it this way, but I found it the easiest
workaround to apply recent patches we saw on the mailing list.

Junio C Hamano (2):
  utf8: refactor code to decide fallback encoding
  utf8: accept "latin-1" as ISO-8859-1
