Thank you for provide better commit log, and I learn a lot from it. Writing in English still a big issue for me, and also obstacles to many l10n contributors. So your decision that l10n contributors can write commit logs in native language is very helpful, yet it has potential risk about wrong character encodings in commit log. So I need to write a helper for l10n team leaders, especially for myself, to detect bad commit log, because nobody knows all languages and encodings. Hacks outside of "po/" directory should be checked regularly also. >> @@ -0,0 +1,271 @@ >> +#!/bin/bash > > Is there any bash-ism in this script?

There are several regex match expressions written in bash style, which is not dash compatible.

I will change XX.po as a alias subcommand of init/update. -- Jiang xin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
