From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx>
The core translation is the minimum set of work that must be done for a
new language translation.
There are over 5000 messages in the template message file "po/git.pot"
that need to be translated. It is not a piece of cake for such a huge
workload. So we used to define a small set of messages called "core
translation" that a new l10n contributor must complete before sending
pull request to the l10n coordinator.
By pulling in some parts of the git-po-helper[^1] logic, we add rule
"core-pot" to create this core translation message "po/git-core.pot":
make core-pot
To help new l10n contributors to initialized their "po/XX.pot" from
"po/git-core.pot", we also add new rules "po-init":
make po-init PO_FILE=po/XX.po
