In the previous discussion of kicking things around I lost track of what
version of mine this is picked up from, but I range-diff'd it to my
6cf9c1f7022 (Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard", 2022-04-02),
which is the latest I had in avar/Makefile-incremental-po-git-pot-rule
on my branch.

A range-diff of the two follows below (yours being the RHS). Some
comments:

 * There's a bug here where you're creating .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po
   files, not .build/pot/po/pretty.c, i.e. you add a *.po extension.

   As the commit message diff shows that results in us adding comments
   to po/git.pot that reference the filename as e.g. add-patch.c.po
   instead of the correct add-patch.c.

   So while it sucks to have a pretty.c file in .build/ that's really
   just a partial *.po instead of one with a *.po extension the whole
   excercise of us sub-shelling into .build/pot/ etc. is to work around
   msgcat's and xgettext's lack specifying a custom "trust me, this is
   the filename", so we should make it *.c again.

   (We could also post-munge the file, but that would suck more)

 * We went a bit back & forth on the "if grep -q PRItime" part on the GH
   ticket. FWIW I still think just skipping that work is a better
   choice. Yes we'll have ~10MB of redundant files in .build, and it's
   marginally slower, but "make pot" isn't a hot target, better to
   optimize for simplicity.

   But if you're really set on having it I don't mind...

 * You add a "MSGCAT_FLAGS = --sort-by-file" here, maybe worth having
   some "common" flags variable in the earlier commit we can use here?
   I.e. share --sort-by-file with xgettext.

 * Your version is missing FORCE on po/git.pot, which is a bug. We can't
   omit it on any file that's checked in. We're about to "git rm" it
   anyway, so maybe we shouldn't worry about it though...

 * This commit breaks the non-ASCII msgid, but 4/9 is about to fix it,
   so likewise maybe not worth worrying about re-arranging them...

      ## Commit message ##
         Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard"
     
    -    Change "make pot" to work on copies of the working tree files in a new
    -    ".build/pot/" directory, instead of altering them in place and doing a
    -    "reset --hard" afterwards.
    -
    -    This both speeds up the "make pot" target on an initial run, and makes
    -    it *much* faster for incremental runs, and will allow us to implement
    -    related targets in subsequent commits.
    +    Before commit fc0fd5b23b (Makefile: help gettext tools to cope with our
    +    custom PRItime format, 2017-07-20) we'd consider source files as-is
    +    with gettext, but because we need to understand PRItime in the same way
    +    that gettext itself understands PRIuMAX we'd first check if we had a
    +    clean checkout, then munge all of the processed files in-place with
    +    "sed", generate "po/git.pot", and then finally "reset --hard" to undo
    +    our changes.
    +
    +    By generating "pot" snippets in ".build/pot/po" for each source file
    +    and rewriting certain source files with PRItime macros to temporary
    +    files in ".build/pot/po", we can avoid running "make pot" by altering
    +    files in place and doing a "reset --hard" afterwards.
    +
    +    This speed of "make pot" is slower than before on an initial run,
    +    because we run "xgettext" many times (once per source file), but it
    +    can be boosted by parallelization. It is *much* faster for incremental
    +    runs, and will allow us to implement related targets in subsequent
    +    commits.
     
         When the "pot" target was originally added in cd5513a7168 (i18n:
         Makefile: "pot" target to extract messages marked for translation,
    @@ Commit message
         target, 2014-08-22) when it was made to depend on "FORCE". I.e. the
         Makefile's dependency resolution inherently can't handle incremental
         building when the target file may be updated by git (or something else
    -    external to "make").
    -
    -    So we still need a FORCE on po/git.pot, but now we'll have that target
    -    copy ".build/pot/git.pot" to "po/git.pot", and the former doesn't need
    -    FORCE.
    -
    -    I think 1f31963e921 was confused in the rationale for adding "FORCE"
    -    though, it's needed for the reasons noted above, but it's got nothing
    -    to do with how we do C compilation or find headers, which it suggest
    -    is the case. It was also made as a preparatory change for
    -    d85b0dff729 (Makefile: use `find` to determine static header
    -    dependencies, 2014-08-25).
    -
    -    Unlike the compiler, when we generate the "pot "file we won't recurse
    -    from one header file to another, we only consider the specific targets
    -    we're given, so if we miss a bar.h included via foo.h $(LOCALIZED_C)
    -    the FORCE won't help us.
    +    external to "make"). But this case no longer applies, so FORCE is no
    +    longer needed.
     
         That out of the way, the main logic change here is getting rid of the
         "reset --hard":
     
    -    Before fc0fd5b23bc we'd consider source files as-is with gettext, but
    -    because we need to understand PRItime in the same way that gettext
    -    itself understands PRIuMAX we'd first check if we had a clean
    -    checkout, then munge all of the processed files in-place with "sed",
    -    generate "po/git.pot, and then finally "reset --hard" to undo our
    -    changes.
    -
    -    We didn't need to do this for the *.perl and *.sh files, so let's
    -    skip that and only do it for the *.[ch] files.
    -
    -    Let's then create these munged *.[ch] files in a tree in .build/pot/"
    -    corresponding to our source tree, and have "xgettext" consider
    -    those. The rule needs to be careful to "(cd .build/pot && ...)",
    -    because otherwise the comments in the po/git.pot file wouldn't refer
    -    to the correct source locations (they'd be prefixed with
    -    ".build/git/").
    -
    -    We'll then generate intermediate .build/pot/po/% files from %, which
    -    is handy to see at a glance what strings (if any) in a given file are
    +    We'll generate intermediate .build/pot/po/%.po files from %, which is

    -            $ cat .build/pot/po/pretty.c
    +            $ cat .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po

                 msgstr ""
                 $
     
    +    For these C source files which contain the PRItime macros, we will
