I'm not sure if you mean "where are we parsing this sequencer message specifically", or if you're just asking where we parse reflog messages at all. If the latter, try interpret_nth_prior_checkout() and its helper grab_nth_branch_switch(). As far as I know, that's the only one we parse, so the answer for _these_ messages is: nowhere. I'm not sure if you're proposing to leave the "checkout" message untranslated, but translate everything else. If so, I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, it could help people who want the translation. On the other hand, it sounds like a maintainability nightmare. ;) -Peff
