Do you have any plans for when to merge the i18n series?

It's been cooking for a while now, and it'll need a lot of follow-up
work (gettextizing) once it gets merged.

I don't have infinite time to do that, so sooner rather than later
would be better if we're going to e.g. have a fully localized Git 1.8.

I haven't been sending these follow up patches due to the reasons I
already cited. They're pretty much guaranteed to conflict with other
things in-flight.

If you're not comfortable with merging it soon for whatever reason
then perhaps I could submit something to add a no-op N_() macro to Git
in the interim. Then we could just do s/N_/_/ on the source tree once
the real series gets merged.
