I think you would want to update this part to match what you did in your
[PATCH 1/2 v2].

    By the way, I think your MUA sent quoted-printable UTF-8 but somewhere
    between your keyboard and vger the message was marked with content-type
    charset=ISO-8859-1); I fixed it up when quoting the above.

I am somewhat worried about the way how this translation will be
maintained to keep in sync with the authoritative English version.
Narita-san (CC'ed) who translated the document to Japanese did this:

    gittutorial(7)
    ==============
    // = gittutorial(7)

    NAME
    ----
    // == NAME
    gittutorial - A tutorial introduction to git (for version 1.5.1 or newer)
    // gittutorial - git チュートリアル (バージョン 1.5.1 以降用)

and the idea seems that without // (comments in AsciiDoc markup) it
matches the English copy, and after passing sed -ne 's|^// ||p' it yields
Japanese version.  Narita-san's translation can be seen at

    http://github.com/yasuaki/git-manual-jp.git/Documentation

if anybody is interested.

With this format, merging upstream changes may not work as smoothly as it
could be, but at least you can check which part of your translation is
based on a stale copy with something like this arrangement.

I am wondering if it would be a good idea to extend Narita-san's scheme so
that we can keep a single source, perhaps like:

    = gittutorial(7)
    // ja = gittutorial(7)
    // pt = gittutorial(7)
    == NAME
    // ja = NAME
    // pt = NAME
    gittutorial - A tutorial introduction to git (for version 1.5.1 or ...
    // ja gittutorial - git チュートリアル (バージョン 1.5.1 以降用)
    // pt gittutorial - Um tutorial de introdução ao git (para versão 1....

Then whenever somebody makes a change to the English version, he can and
should also mark the corresponding translated versions "stale", so that it
is easier to spot by translators.

    diff --git a/gittutorial.txt b/gittutorial.txt
    index 4478300..02d67d3 100644
    --- a/gittutorial.txt
    +++ b/gittutorial.txt
    @@ -4,7 +4,6 @@
     == NAME
     // ja = NAME
     // pt = NAME

As long as all the translations use the same encoding (I think UTF-8 is
the only practical choice for this), keeping translated strings in a
single file would be doable.

I however am not sure how practical it would be to force people to look at
the *.txt version of document, only 1/n lines of which is now readable by
him (if you are like a typical American who understands only English ;-).

Thoughts?
