merging PO branches?
[ Please CC me, I'm not subscribed ]
Hi!
How does one operate to merge different branches in a PO file? It seems
traditional "diff & patch" methods are very fragile.
Let's say I modify a PO file, then prepare a patch to send the maintainer.
However, since PO files are full of references to C source line numbers, it's
very likely that when the PO is updated by the maintainer, my patch will no
longer work (context broken; fuzzy/offset matching is useless).
I've noticed the msg* tools in gettext offer a lot of possibilities for
filtering strings, etc. But I couldn't find a "msgdiff/msgpatch" pair of
commands which is what I really wanted.
Am I missing something?
