The parts that touch other topics in flight probably need to be split into
separate patches; otherwise it is unmanageable.

I've just submitted "[PATCH v5] Add infrastructure for translating Git
with gettext" ([ref])
that omits the "Add initial C, Shell and Perl gettext translations"
patch. This'll greatly ease merging it with other topics.

I can split it up further if you want, perhaps you'd like the changes
to the Makefile to be in one seperate patch? Although I don't see how
that makes it easier to merge since you'd have to solve that conflict
anyway, but perhaps your workflow is different from mine.

Tell me if I can do anything else to make it easier to merge it.

* ab/tap (2010-06-15) 5 commits
 . TAP: Make sure there's a newline before "ok" under harness
 . TAP: Say "pass" rather than "ok" on an empty line
 . We use TAP so the Perl test can run without scaffolding
 . Skip tests in a way that makes sense under TAP
 . Make test-lib.sh emit valid TAP format

Updated with a newer round but it seems to break "make -j8 test" when
merged to 'pu', hence ejected.

How does it break under pu? I can't see any suspicious behavior when
running it. I've run it with -j1 and -j8 in both next and pu and I get
the same test test-results/ every time.

I was not sure why TAP is worth the trouble, and I still am not
sure.

Covered in comments to a previous "What's cooking" post.
