[PATCH] scripts: add origin commit identification based on specific patterns

[PATCH] scripts: add origin commit identification based on specific patterns

[Zhiyu Zhang]

This patch adds the functionability to smartly identify origin commit
of the translation by matching the following patterns in commit log:
1) update to commit HASH
2) Update the translation through commit HASH
If no such pattern is found, script will obey the original workflow.

So I don't have any objection to this, but wouldn't mind hearing from
folks who actually use this script - has anybody else tested it out?

Thanks,

I’ve tested this script, and the new origin commit tracking
functionality is working effectively—it can reduce the number of
commits requiring updates.
