Interesting... I even considered using
LANG=jwsdhadgh or
LANG=none for a while, since gettext should fall back to whatever is built-in if it can't find it (which is the desired effect). :lol:
But then, LANG=EN looked a lot nicer, so I stuck with that. Interestingly, it does not produce any kind of warning under Windows
I did not choose any kind of subset such as en_US because I wasn't sure which one to take (US citizens will probably claim that en_US is without doubt the "original thing", but UK residents will not necessarily agree that this is English at all). I don't know which one is the native one. Maybe en_US and en_UK (or en_AU) are even the same for Subversion by coincidence. But honestly, I actually don't want to bother
What we need is one format that's always the same, preferrably the one that's built into the Subversion binary, so it will run on every target PC. My proposal is that you try whatever doesn't give you errors, and we'll stick with that for now (until someone else complains).
Eventually, at some point in the future, I will rewrite
autorevision to parse Subversion's xml output, which will once and for all end this sad story.
However, since most people still use 1.3 (which only supports that option for a small subset of commands) and some even 1.2 (which doesn't support it at all), this is currently probably not such a good idea.
