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.
