=head1 NAME

Git::I18N - Perl interface to Git's Gettext localizations

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Git::I18N;

	print __("Welcome to Git!\n");

	printf __("The following error occured: %s\n"), $error;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Git's internal Perl interface to gettext via L<Locale::Messages>. If
L<Locale::Messages> can't be loaded (it's not a core module) we
provide stub passthrough fallbacks.

This is a distilled interface to gettext, see C<info '(gettext)Perl'>
for the full interface. This module implements only a small part of
it.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 __($)

L<Locale::Messages>'s gettext function if all goes well, otherwise our
passthrough fallback function.
