-To smoke out issues like these Git can be compiled with gettext poison
-support, at the top-level:
+To smoke out issues like these, Git tested with a translation mode that

-That'll give you a git which emits gibberish on every call to
-gettext. It's obviously not meant to be installed, but you should run
-the test suite with it:
-
- cd t && prove -j 9 ./t[0-9]*.sh
+ cd t && GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease prove -j 9 ./t[0-9]*.sh
If tests break with it you should inspect them manually and see if
what you're translating is sane, i.e. that you're not translating
