What version are you running?
0.5.3

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
post-review --server=<SERVER> --output-diff

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Setup system with en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8 (no en_US.UTF-8)
2. Setup /etc/locale.conf with LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
2.1. Optionally set LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8 as well
3. Attempt to post a review.

What is the expected output?
Successful post

What do you see instead?

"The generated diff file was empty. This usually means no files were
modified in this change."

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Arch Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

When you add --output-diff the following is included:

--- __FILENAME__	(revision perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = "en_US.UTF-8",
	LC_ALL = "en_US.UTF-8",
	LANG = "en_CA.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
6441)

'perl -e exit' works fine. Tried with and without LANGUAGE set.

Only workaround was to add the en_US.UTF-8 locale to my system.

What version control system are you using?

Can you run with --debug and attach the output?

Debug log attached.

I'm using git-svn (git local, svn backend). As you can see the diff is not actually empty, it's just not in proper diff format due to the tool not being able to figure out the initial revision.
