By the way, this is one of these times when I feel that we should
have a better multi-line message support in die/error/warning/info
functions. Ideally, I should be able to write
warning(_("the '-l' option is an alias for '--create-reflog' and\n"
"has no effect in list mode, This option will soon be\n"
"removed and you should omit it (or use '--list' instead)."));
and warning() would:
- do the sprintf formatting thing as necessary to prepare a long multi-line
message;
- chomp that into lines at '\n' boundary; and
- give each of these lines with _("warning: ") prefixed.
That way, translators can choose to make the resulting message to
different number of lines from the original easily.
