-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Many GNU projects that omit autotools-generated files from their version control also omit the .po files (for example, coreutils, tar, m4, ...), provided that bootstrapping the package from a fresh checkout includes obtaining canonical .po files from the translation project. Versioning the .po files tends to create a lot of churn, particularly when developing, since the line numbers within the .pot file change, and therefore every single .po file is updated and has a spurious merge difference in relation to the patch at hand. Is it worth changing findutils to also omit .po and related generated files from version control?
