Ah, OK, will keep that in mind.

Anyway, the first GETTEXT_POISON build will fail if that error string
ever gets translated but the test doesn't get updated.

I always assumed stderr was mostly fair game, even for plumbing. At any
rate, I'm willing to ignore the issue until somebody actually proposes a
patch to translate it.

I thought 'git for-each-ref' is plumbing and that means that it
shouldn't be localized.

Yeah, this looks much nicer than the original.

I suspect in the long run this ought to be test_i18ngrep, but since it's
not localized yet, it makes sense to stop here with this patch.
