Very good point.
Code:

$ while read -d $'\0' LINE
        do echo ${LINE}
done < /proc/$$/environ
USER=xxxxx
LOGNAME=xxxxx
HOME=/home/xxxxx
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
MAIL=/var/mail/xxxxx
SHELL=/bin/bash
SSH_CLIENT=xx.xx.xx.xx 63973 22
SSH_CONNECTION=xx.xx.xx.xx 63973 xx.xx.xx.xx 22
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0

git-sh-i18n

GIT-SH-I18N(1)							    Git Manual							    GIT-SH-I18N(1)

NAME

       git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
       wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
       systems without GNU gettext.

FUNCTIONS

       gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
	   a later version.

       eval_gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
	   i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.

GIT

       Part of the git(1) suite
