Are the (f)printf() -> (f)printf_ln() changes all over
'builtin/fsck.c' really necessary to mark strings for translation?

'test_i18ngrep' accepts all 'grep' options, so this could be written
as:

  test_i18ngrep -E "..." out


There might be something else wrong with the patch, because now this
test tends to fail on current 'pu' on Travis CI:

The contents of 'out':

  broken link from    tree be45bbd3809e0829297cefa576e699c134abacfd (refs/heads/master@{1112912113}:caesar.t)

  missing blob be45bbd3809e0829297cefa576e699c134abacfd (refs/heads/master@{1112912113}:caesar.t)

On a related (side)note, I think it would be better if this 'grep'
pattern were more explicit about which of the three lines it is
supposed to match.


Anyway, I couldn't reproduce the failure locally yet, but, admittedly,
I didn't try that hard...  And my builds on Travis CI haven't yet come
that far to try this topic on its own.

It is beyond absolute minimum but I saw it argued here that this
makes it easier to manage the .po and .pot files if your message
strings do not end with LF, a you are much less likely to _add_
unneeded LF to the translated string than _lose_ LF at the end of
translated string.

Especially when \n plays an important role and we don't trust
translators to keep it [1] [2]. It's probably a too defensive stance
and often does not apply, so nowadays I do it just to keep a
consistent pattern in the code.

[2] but then translators can crash programs anyway (e.g. changing %d
to %s...) we just trust gettext tools to catch problems early.

As Jonathan pointed out in the follow-up message[1] this sort of thing
is checked for in msgfmt, so sure, let's strip the \n, but it's really
not something we need to worry about. Likewise with translators turning
"%s" into "%d" (or "% s") or whatever.

...to add to that, if there *are* formatting errors that --check doesn't
spot let's hear about it so we can just patch gettext upstream:
https://github.com/autotools-mirror/gettext/blob/master/gettext-tools/src/msgl-check.c#L572-L756

Unlike the rest of our stack where we need to support however many years
old tools we can freely rely on bleeding-edge gettext features, since
the only person we need to convince to upgrade is Jiang. I.e. he accepts
the PRs from translators, (presumably) runs msgfmt --check and then
submits the result to Junio.

See the "Usually..." paragraph in my 66f5f6dca9 ("C style: use standard
style for "TRANSLATORS" comments", 2017-05-11) for an example. We
already rely on a fairly recent gettext toolchain.

IMHO the advantage of leaving the \n out in the message is not so much
that we don't trust translators but more that where we can make their
lives easier, we should.

In other words, I'm glad the patch does that, and Ævar, I agree.

Thanks, both.

I used a shell script to check commits before I send a pull request to Junio.
This script is in the po-helper branch, see:
https://github.com/git-l10n/git-po/tree/po-helper

It can catch unmatched '\n' errors (missing or unnecessary '\n').

I found the problem. Some function returns static string which works
fine when we do two printf()'s, one call of that function per
printf(). But when combining two printf() in one, we have a problem.
Thanks for catching.
