git-sh-i18n: check GETTEXT_POISON before USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME
Running "make NO_GETTEXT=1 GETTEXT_POISON=1" currently fails
t0205.
While it might seem nonsensical at first glance to both
poison and disable gettext, it's useful to be able to do a
poison test-run on a system that doesn't have gettext at
all. And it works fine for C programs; the problem is only
with the shell code.
The issue is that we check the baked-in USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME
value before GETTEXT_POISON. And when NO_GETTEXT is set, the
Makefile sets USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME to "fallthrough".
So one fix would be to have the Makefile just set
USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME to "poison" if GETTEXT_POISON is set.
But there are two problems with that:
1. USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME is actually a user-facing knob, so
conceivably somebody could override it with:
make USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME=gnu GETTEXT_POISON=1
which would do the wrong thing (though that's much less
likely than them having the variable set in their
config.mak and just overriding GETTEXT_POISON on the
command-line for a one-off test).
2. We don't actually bake GETTEXT_POISON in to the shell
library like we do for the C code. It checks
$GIT_GETTEXT_POISON at runtime, which is set up by the
test suite. So it makes sense to put the fix in the
runtime code, too, which would cover something like:
GIT_GETTEXT_POISON=foo git foo
It's not likely that people use the poison code outside
of running the test suite, but it's easy enough to make
this case work.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
