Re: [PATCH/RFC 06/17] gettext: localize the main git-init message

Note that the TRANSLATORS comment doesn't use the usual Git
style. This is because everything from "/* TRANSLATORS: " to "*/" will
extracted as-is xgettext(1) and presented to translators, including
newlines and leading "*"'s.

How would it cope with the following?

	/* TRANSLATORS:
	 * The first '%s' is either "Reinitialized existing" or
	 * "Initialized empty", the second " shared" or "", and
	 * the last '%s%s' is the verbatim directory name.

The leading column of stars makes it easier to distinguish code
from comments.  (Plus I am not too happy to read code with two
inconsistent comment styles used.)
