Yeah, this setlocale() call is appropriate for bzr-svn. I originally
suggested this as a workaround for bzr-svn, but didn't submit it
upstream because I was worried it would break any i18n efforts (don't
gettext, ctime(), etc use this setting ?)

I haven't looked at the other bits in the patch.

Cheers,
