gclient fails if LC_ALL or LC_MESSAGES is set to some non-english locale about gclient

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The same problem occurs on my Windows 2003 Server SP2 machine. The locale is 
set to 
English (United States), the language for non-Unicode programs is set to 
English 
(United States) as well. I am running "gclient sync" from Visual Studio 2005 
Command 
Prompt window. Yet executing "gclient sync" from a regular command prompt 
(cmd.exe) 
yields the same result.

sindilevich,
Can you confirm if the attached patch fixes the issue in your Windows machine?

Hi goedson,

No, the lines you have added:

  if 'LC_MESSAGES' in env:
    env['LC_MESSAGES'] = 'C'
  if 'LC_ALL' in env:
    env['LC_ALL'] = 'C'

did NOT help on my Windows machine...

sindilevich,

maybe you should try without the conditionals, keeping only the:

env['LC_MESSAGES'] = 'C'
env['LC_ALL'] = 'C'

and see if this solves the problem.

Another thing that could help us nail down this issue would be printing the 
contents
of your 'env' and try to find any locale related variable.

Should be fixed by the following checkin, which parses the output "svn info 
--xml" to
try to avoid localization issues entirely:

http://code.google.com/p/gclient/source/detail?r=27

If that doesn't answer satisfactorily, please re-open the issue, or open a new 
one
with an appropriate use case description.

Thanks,
