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?
It's an interesting idea. But if we did that, how would we manage a stable and a development branch? James. _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
