Subject: [PATCH] gettext: do not translate empty string

The gettext .po files have a header, but it looks like the translation
specification for an empty string.  This results in _("") actually
returning that header.

Prevent us from passing empty strings to gettext.  In some places,
we run _(opts->help) where opts->help may be an empty string.

Oh, I forgot that we actually had a wrapper instead of the usual _.
Yes, I think that would be the better solution to guard against this.

Thanks; this is a tricky bit to catch and makes me wonder where else
we have a similar breakage.

Perhaps we would want to do this instead?  I dunno.

[PATCH] parseopt: do not translate empty help string

2012-08-20 Thread Thomas Rast
The gettext .po files have a header, but it looks like the translation
specification for an empty string.  This results in _("") actually
returning that header.

Prevent parseopt from passing empty strings to gettext when it
displays help about commands.  In some instances it already did this,
but git-grep's --or etc. caught another case.
