The translationproject.org thing was a red herring. As you noticed, the relevant thing is "outside of git.git". So imagine there is a git-translations.git project, perhaps. My only point was that versioning of translations and versioning of code can beneficially (in my opinion) be decoupled: with time, the translations for even _old_ versions of git improve, too. > maybe we should just use > msgmerge with --no-location. That would partially alleviate my concerns, and I think we might be able to get the --add-location output back in actual checkouts with a "smudge" filter. But still there is noise from reordering messages, adding them and removing them, and so on. It just never seemed like a great fit for the usual version control model to me. > But I'd like to coordinate things on this mailing list [...] > without some external service being mandatory. No objection here. :) Of course, what is convenient for translators and maintainers (i.e., not me) takes precedence anyway; I am just throwing out ideas. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
