Thanks guys.
Here is what I have found:
# cat ~/.login_conf
me:\
:charset=3DUTF-8:\
:lang=3Den_US.UTF-8:
I created this file then logged back in and ran:
# locale
LANG=3Den_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=3D"en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=3D
# echo "This is ^[[31mred^[[m text."
prints red colored "red" text. :)
# git diff &1> ../blah.txt
# cat ../blah.txt
shows:
[...]
-setup_dirs()
+setup_dirs2()
[...]
but
# git diff
still emits the mangled output on stdout.
The delete-key solution resolved my issue. Thanks a bunch Polytropon!
