Sorry, I'm late. I want to try a safer way to change PRItime to
PRInMax using a hacked version of gettext.

We can change Makefile like this:

    --- a/Makefile
    +++ b/Makefile
    @@ -2216,7 +2216,14 @@ LOCALIZED_SH += t/t0200/test.sh
     LOCALIZED_PERL += t/t0200/test.perl
     endif

    -po/git.pot: $(GENERATED_H) FORCE
    +check_gettext:
    +       @if ! $(XGETTEXT) --version | grep -q -i PRItime; then \
    +               echo >&2 "Error: must use a hacked xgettext, which
can handle PRItime macro properly."; \
    +               echo >&2 "Error: download the hacked version of
gettext from https://github.com/......"; ; \
    +               exit 1; \
    +       fi
    +
    +po/git.pot: check_gettext $(GENERATED_H) FORCE
           $(QUIET_XGETTEXT)$(XGETTEXT) -o$@+ $(XGETTEXT_FLAGS_C) $(LOCALIZED_C)
           $(QUIET_XGETTEXT)$(XGETTEXT) -o$@+ --join-existing
$(XGETTEXT_FLAGS_SH) \
                   $(LOCALIZED_SH)

But I'm not sure I can handle this in this very busy weekend.
