I don't think we want to do that. Given that quilt will preserve the
order of the files in patches unless you explicitely ask it to sort
them, working with different locales should not cause much trouble.
Arbitrarily deciding that per-locale sorting is no more possible would
not be fair to users who are not interested by the feature you propose.

Why don't you simply add "LC_ALL=C" in ~/.quiltrc is that's the way you
want quilt to operate?
