 PR: https://github.com/django/django/pull/10422

 Use case:

 {{{
 REPO_ROOT
 |-- manage.py
 |-- app/
 |   `-- ...
 `-- .venv/
     `-- ...
 }}}

 When ".venv" or another adjacent directory has a bad utf-8 marker or code
 that would cause xgettext to fail the management command cannot succeed.
 The workaround right now is to "cd" into the django_app and run
 "../mange.py" so the current directory is now the django_app and
 makemessages will properly exclude the other directories. Gettext has an
 options "-D" or "--directory" which changes the directory to recurse from
 the current directory to the specified directory. The patch linked adds
 that option and walks that directory instead of the current directory from
 the makemessages command.
