It does change the default when stderr is not a terminal window. If we
were not redirecting to a file, this change would not be necessary.

True, this is an old issue. I think it never got corrected because
your reply sounded like the issue doesn't exist in the normal test
suite, only in a private branch where you changed the behavior of
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON.

If we still think that should be fixed, it should not be a part of
this series, but should be a separate one that focuses on just
those changes.
