GHC git server issue : warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_AU.UTF-8)

[Austin Seipp]

I did this. Thanks for the tip. Let me know if anything else is going on.

The page describing the old server setup is here:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell.org_domain - I was going to
take the time to update this earlier this week but got sidetracked
unfortunately. In the meantime, the current standing set of admins
are:

- Peter Simons
- Vo Minh Thu
- Merijn Verstraaten
- John Wiegley

and I am one of the new infrastructure administrators as well. You can
consider me a go-to point if there are problems with ghc.haskell.org
since I'm a committer as well.

Right now things are a bit transitional; we still need to organize
some stuff like where to report server issues, etc. I will hopefully
be able to clear some of this up in the next week or so. And also make
it clear where you can report problems, etc.
