I haven't heard of any, but given that these can be added back by
running xgettext and the result will have the up-to-date line
numbers, it wouldn't be wrong to define a script that roughly does:

* find a run of lines that match ^#: .*$ and replace it with a
  single line with #: in original, ours and theirs.

* feed these three files to 'merge' from RCS suite.

and use that as a merge driver.  The merged result would lose the
line number information, so if you really care, you could run make
pot at each step to update it but I do not think it matters as long
as you do so at the very end once, even as a follow-up fix-up
patch that says we deliberately lost the line number information
during the series to avoid unnecessary merge conflicts, and this
commit puts it back.

Rebase pain on (the) pot

2015-03-19 Thread Michael J Gruber
Do we have a merge driver or something for the l10n files?

I'm trying to rebase an older branch on top of origin/next. My topic
branch has changes to git.pot (the old glossary command idea), and
rebasing produces a lot of conflicts due to simple line number changes
in the comments. (The de.po in the next commit to be rebased won't fair
any better, probably.)
