    ==============
    
    NAME
    ----
    git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts
    
    SYNOPSIS
    --------
    [verse]
    '. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"'
    
    DESCRIPTION
    -----------
    
    This is not a command the end user would want to run.  Ever.
    This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
    Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
    
    The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
    `.`) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell
    script. It provides wrappers for the GNU `gettext` and
    `eval_gettext` functions accessible through the `gettext.sh`
    script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on systems
    without GNU gettext.
    
    FUNCTIONS
    ---------
    
    gettext::
    	Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
    	around `printf(1)`. Will be replaced by a real gettext
    	implementation in a later version.
    
    eval_gettext::
    	Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
    	around `printf(1)` with variables expanded by the
    	linkgit:git-sh-i18n{litdd}envsubst[1] helper. Will be replaced by a
    	real gettext implementation in a later version.
