I've looked at all of them and they looked sensible.
The changes look like this:
- die(_("something option something: %s"), arg);
+ die(_("something --option something: %s"), arg);
It is not a fault of this patch, but wasn't the concensus that the
ideal form would be more like this:
die(_("something %s something: %s"), "--option", arg);
in order to completely avoid tempting translators into touching
"--option", IIRC?
These patches do not make things worse, so I am willing to say they
are strict improvements and the series is a good first step if we
wanted to follow through to eject option names out of translatable
strings later.
Thanks.
