(Dropping translators as they probably are not interested in this)

I saw a gnu project does this (I don't remember what project). If we
update .po* files with --no-location, we can avoid a lot of diff
noises due to line number changes. A typical translator does not care
about these lines anyway. Those who do can easily search the string in
source files without them.

I believe some translators need these location infomation to find the
context.

Unless you are also a git developer, I doubt if sha1_file.c makes
sense to any translators. In my 8 years of being translator/programmer
to open source world, I rarely look at those lines (though I admit I
do). A slightly modified suggestion is just drop line number, not the
file name, but xgettext does not support that, unfortunately.
