manpages-l10n: please fix file header of xrandr.1.po
Hello,
the header of the French xrandr.1.po currently looks as follows:
# French translation of manpages
# This file is distributed under the same license as the manpages-l10n package.
# Copyright © of this file:
# Common msgids
# Mario Blättermann <mario.blaettermann@gmail.com>, 2019.

Seems somebody has used one of the compendium files as a template. My
last commit (reformat .po files) only added the first three lines. It
happened in commit #151198. While trying to update just one .po file,
1000 files have been changed accidentally, and the following attempt
to revert this change obviously failed.
The problem is not only that names of the involved translators are
missing; when regenerating the AUTHORS file, also a proper file header
is needed.
As you can see in the mentioned commit, some artifacts of a formatted
Diff have been added to xrandr.1.po, which produces an invalid .po
file. But unfortunately, our helper scripts expect proper and valid
.po files and can destroy a file completely in some cases and later
regenerate from whatever; I'm not the author of the scripts and can't
explain them in detail.
@Jean-Philippe, does it really make sense to maintain your own Git
repo and move .po files forth and back from one to another? If you
really can't do without tracking changes within one single review
loop, then fork a new branch in manpages-l10n and merge the changes
back to master when finished. Or at least, be more careful please when
committing anything. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Mario
