+	   This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
+	   requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
+	   environment for the whole program.
+
+	   This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
+	   Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
+	   on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
+	   locale.
+
+	   That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
+	   the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
+	   argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
+	   locale.
+
+	   Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
+	   this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
+	   functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
+
+	   But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
+	   we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
+	   implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
+	   without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
+	   under the Icelandic locale:
+
+	       Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
+
+	   Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
+	   told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
+	   characters get encoded to question marks.
+
+	   But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
+	   only while we call nl_langinfo and
+	   bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
+	   encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
+
+	       Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
+
+	   And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
+	   ISO-8859-1 locale.
+
+	   With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
+	   (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
+	   drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
+
+	   However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
+	   aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
+	   we have to call perror(3):
+
+	   #include <stdio.h>
+	   #include <locale.h>
+	   #include <errno.h>
+
+	   int main(void)
+	   {
+		   setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
+		   setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
+		   errno = ENODEV;
+		   perror("test");
+		   return 0;
+	   }
+
+	   Running that will give you a message with question marks:
+
+	   $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
+	   test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
+
+	   In the long term we should probably see about getting that
+	   vsnprintf bug in glibc fixed, and audit our code so it won't
+	   fall apart under a non-C locale.
+
+	   Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
+	   make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
+
+	   See t/t0203-gettext-setlocale-sanity.sh's "gettext.c" tests for
+	   regression tests.
