Yes, of course, modulo bugs. :)  I guess one thing to watch out for
would be assumptions about non-git utilities in the test suite --- for
example, some commands such as "sed" have a different idea of what a
character is in other locales.  But the main ingredient needed is just
UI (a test option or envvar).
