+[PATCH] generate-cmdlist.sh: Fix determinism issue
+
+Currently git binaries are not entirely reproducible, at least partly 
+due to config-list.h differing in order depending on the system's
+locale settings. Under different locales, the entries:
+
+"sendemail.identity",
+"sendemail.<identity>.*",
+
+would differ in order for example and this leads to differences in 
+the debug symbols for the binaries.
+
+This can be fixed by specifying the C locale for the sort in the
+shell script generating the header.
+
+Note: This is a backport of Richard Purdie's original patch for a more
+recent version of git. The offending code in this older version is
+in generate-cmdlist.sh. The upstream current version has this code
+in generate-configlist.sh.
